Jade Damarell, a seasoned skydiver with over 500 jumps to her name, deliberately plunged to her demise from 15,500 feet after a personal relationship came to a sudden end the night before.
The devastating conclusion was delivered by Dr. Leslie Hamilton during a public inquest at Crook Civic Centre in County Durham, months after Damarell’s body was found on farmland near Fleming Field on April 27.
The investigation not only revealed that she had not deployed her main parachute, but that she also turned off her automatic activation device, which was meant to trigger a reserve chute in case of emergency.
