    Mr Morello, of Ormond Beach, is believed to be an experienced skydiver. The lawyer had posted dozens of pictures of him fearlessly leaping from planes.<\/p>\n

    But on Saturday at around 12.25pm he was seen by Mr Sconiers in the reflection of the back car window while it was parked in the driveway of his home. When he witnessed Mr Morello hit the floor.<\/p>\n

    Mr Sconiers repeatedly asked him if he was okay but he was non-responsive. Tragically the parachuter died on the pavement, wearing his neon yellow gear.<\/p>\n
