Skydiver Found Dead in Louisiana After Parachute Malfunction

Authorities report the skydiver's parachute failed to deploy, leading to his death miles from the intended landing zone.

The skydiver, described as an Asian male wearing an orange wingsuit, was reported missing by Gilliam Airport on Saturday afternoon.
Search efforts involved multiple agencies, including the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office and the Wildlife and Fisheries Department.
The skydiver's body was discovered approximately two hours later, several miles from the planned landing area.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, with no immediate comments from the sheriff's or coroner's offices.
This marks the third skydiving fatality this year attributed to parachute malfunctions, following similar incidents in Colorado and Arizona.
