A skydiver has died under unknown circumstances near Vance Brand Airport, a city-owned airport in Longmont, about 40 miles northwest of Denver.
Few details were immediately available but a spokesperson for the Longmont Police and Fire Departments said the 36-year-old Colorado man died just before 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
The man was skydiving with Mile High Skydiving and wearing a wingsuit and it appears neither his primary nor his reserve chute opened before he hit the ground.
The man will be identified by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office and now the FAA is investigating the incident in conjunction with the coroner’s office and Longmont Police Department.
The FAA said it was aware of the death and is assisting in the investigation from the perspective of the packing of the parachutes and rules of flight for the pilot and aircraft.
CBS News Colorado reached out to airport and Mile High Skydiving for comment, but neither immediately responded Sunday.
The airport has made headlines for the number of skydiving deaths associated with it over the past few years.
