A man was killed Saturday in a skydiving accident in Florida. He was found wearing parachuting gear on the lawn of a home in the coastal city of Titusville, just east of Orlando. The residence where the man was found and pronounced dead on the scene is just a block from the Arthur Dunn Airpark, a public airport where several skydiving centers are also located. Titusville Police detectives believe the man was parachuting by himself but have not released any further information. The investigation is ongoing, the department said in a news release.
