A neighbor's surveillance video captured an SUV window's reflection, showing the skydiver descending before making a hard landing.

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.

    He shouldn’t have been that close to homes in the first place though

    It’s an airpark. It’s like an HOA for pilots where the ammenities are taxiways from your house to the runway. Some will even have the hangar in their back yard where it can go straight onto the runway.

    You can get a better idea searching airpark on google images.
