The accident occurred at approximately 1:25 p.m. on Wednesday May 10.

The diver, whose name was not released, fell to the ground in the Stirling Glenn neighborhood in Monroe Township, officials said.

He had over 700 jumps to his credit and had been skydiving for over a decade, according to Nadia Mazure, a manager at Skydive Cross Keys.

His parachute was deployed at normal altitude upon exiting the airplane and appeared to be fully inflated, Mazure said.

"Skydive Cross Keys’ staff and community are deeply saddened by the loss of a loved and respected member of our community," Mazure said.

All further details are pending investigation.
