RCMP say a skydiver has died in a weekend accident west of Edmonton.
Cpl. Troy Savinkoff says police were called to a township road near Onoway on Saturday morning.
Savinkoff says the 56-year-old man from Edmonton suffered fatal injuries following a jump from a plane.
He says the man was a skydiving instructor.
At this point Savinkoff says the death appears to have been an accident and does not appear suspicious, but he says RCMP, workplace safety officials and the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office continue to investigate.
He says others were skydiving at the same time but no other injuries were reported.
