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.

    Yeah I seen that but how many 70 year olds do you know without paper thin skin. If it rains to hard, they bruise.

      Most 70 year olds don’t have paper thin skin. 70 is not as old as you think. (90 year olds, on the other hand…)

      There’s still a lot of muscle and connective membrane holding your organs inside with or without skin.
