Detectives are investigating after a skydiver was found dead in the front yard of a residence near an airpark in Florida, authorities said Saturday.

A man outfitted in parachute attire and gear was located just before 12:30 p.m. on the lawn of a home in Titusville, about 50 miles east of Orlando, police said in a statement. The Titusville Fire Department responded and said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police on Monday identified the victim as 69-year-old Frederick C. Morello, of Ormond Beach, CBS affiliate WKMG reported.

What's a nearly 70 year old dude doing skydiving?

He found an alternative to criticizing others’ life choices on the internet.

Living his life to the fullest, why not skydive if you’re physically/mentally well at 70? Not like you have a lot left to live for that you need to be risk-averse

He doesn't seem so physically well now though

We all die, you have the choice of it being potentially sudden during an activity or prolonged on a hospital death bed
