Skydiver who survived 100ft plunge found dead

A SKYDIVER who survived a 100ft plunge when his chute malfunctioned has been found dead.

Paul McMahon, 29, who sustained horrific injuries in the fall in America last summer, was discovered in a car on a country road about 30km from his home in Castlederg, Co Tyrone, on Tuesday.

It is understood that police are not treating the death as suspicious. Friends said he had suffered bouts of depression in the past. An inquest will be held later.
