69-Year-Old Lawyer Passes Away Following Skydiving Accident



A 69-year-old lawyer, Frederick Morello, lost his life after making a hard landing on the front lawn of a home near a Titusville airpark in Florida on Saturday, Oct. 7, around 12.30pm.

 


Morello, an experienced skydiver and a practitioner of law in Daytona Beach, had showcased his passion for skydiving through numerous pictures on his law office website under the section titled “Fred’s passion”.

 


The section included the quote: “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

 


Morello apparently attempted a solo parachute jump, resulting in the tragic outcome.

 


According to the Titusville police, “The preliminary investigation revealed an adult male outfitted in parachute attire and gear was located on the lawn of a residence on the 2600 block of Merry Lane.” Morello was pronounced dead at the scene.

 


The tragic accident was captured on a surveillance camera on the neighboring property, witnessed by Vietnam veteran James Sconiers who recounted the harrowing impact.

 


Sconiers described the intense landing and his attempts to communicate with Morello, who unfortunately did not respond.

 


Morello’s landing occurred just blocks away from the Skydive Space Center, and the incident is currently under police investigation.
