Man in NY jumps from plane with camera but no parachute, dies

DUANESBURG, N.Y. (AP) - Police in New York state say a 29-year-old man leaped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a camera but no parachute yesterday.

 

Officials say the man was observing on the flight, when he followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear.

 

Police say they do not suspect foul play but they are not elaborating.

 

The pilot and owner of the Duanesburg Skydiving Club says he had begun to close the door when the man jumped. His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof west of Albany.
