The skydiver who died over the weekend after landing in a garden off Florida in front of shocked residents has been identified as a 69-year-old lawyer.
According to police, Frederick Morello, of Ormond Beach, died after crashing to the ground in Titusville around 12:30 pm Saturday afternoon.
Morello, who graduated from Georgetown Law School and worked as an employment lawyer in Daytona Beach, was an experienced skydiver who posted photos of himself jumping out of planes on his website.
In a section titled “Fred’s Passion,” the lawyer alluded to his thrill-seeking nature.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that leave us breathless,” reads a quote on the page, followed by dozens of images of himself skydiving.
James Sconiers told WKMG that Morello landed directly in his front yard.
“I was asking the person who was lying on the ground, ‘Hey, can you hear me? Can you hear me?’ But she didn’t respond,” Sconiers told the station.
He told a local Fox affiliate that Morello bounced off the ground “like a basketball” before stopping.

Other witnesses said Morello’s parachute had fully deployed before impact, but he still landed at high speed.
A resident said Morello’s body was in a horrible state.
“I work in the medical field,” Nicole Lacount told WKMG. “That’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
The Skydive Space Center, located blocks from the crash site, declined to comment on whether Morello had used its services before the accident.
But the lawyer appears to have parachuted in with them from the same starting point in the past.
