A neighbor's surveillance video captured an SUV window's reflection, showing the skydiver descending before making a hard landing.

Detectives are investigating after a skydiver was found dead in the front yard of a residence near an airpark in Florida, authorities said Saturday.

A man outfitted in parachute attire and gear was located just before 12:30 p.m. on the lawn of a home in Titusville, about 50 miles east of Orlando, police said in a statement. The Titusville Fire Department responded and said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police on Monday identified the victim as 69-year-old Frederick C. Morello, of Ormond Beach, CBS affiliate WKMG reported.

    Dressing up as a skydiver and dying on a lawn would be a brilliant prank to play if you knew Miss Marple was coming to town.
