Report: Bala Cynwyd Skydiver Dies

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the victim did not try to open his parachute in the South Jersey tragedy.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday that Donald Morozin, 62, of Bala Cynwyd died Nov. 21 in a skydiving accident in South Jersey.

The Inquirer cited the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office in reporting that Morozin had not pulled either of the cords that would have deployed his parachutes and that an FAA inspection determined Morozin's equipment was packed properly.

Morozin was jumping at Cross Keys Airport in Monroe Township, the Inquirer reported.
