Man dies while skydiving

A man has died after a skydiving accident yesterday in Connewarre.

It is believed a group of people jumped from a plane in Torquay this morning and two of those have landed just off Breamlea Road in Connewarre about 10.30am.

One of the skydivers, a 34-year-old Sydenham man, died at the scene.

A second male skydiver that landed in the same area was not injured.

The Australian Parachute Federation is at the scene and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
