Experienced skydiver deliberately jumped to her death day after breakup with partner, coroner confirms

An experienced UK skydiver — who was killed instantly during a skydive earlier this year — deliberately took the fatal jump just one day after she ended a relationship with her partner, authorities confirmed.

Jade Damarell, who fell 15,500 feet into a field in Shotton Colliery in County Durham on April 27, died of blunt trauma injuries after taking the intentional leap, Coroner Leslie Hamilton announced at an inquest, according to the Guardian.

The death of the 32-year-old skydiver — who made more than 500 successful jumps in her career — has been officially ruled a suicide, Hamilton said.

The coroner also summarized a note from Damarell’s former partner and fellow skydiver, which read that the couple had “ended their relationship” the night before she took her life.

Her partner was previously identified as Ben Goodfellow, 26, the Daily Mail reported.
