| Description |
| Eye-witness reports indicate the two skydivers collided about 50 feet (15 meters) above the ground under parachute leading to main parachute entanglements.
The two men were part of a group of more than 280 skydivers from 30 countries taking part in mass jumps being staged at the Royal Thai Air Force’s Wing 53 base in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Muang district.
The two men were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. Depiscopo (Italian), who suffered severe head injuries, was unconscious when admitted to hospital and pronounced dead shortly after. Tershukov (Russian), who suffered injuries to his arm and spine, died later in the evening due to loss of blood and shock. |
