    Base Death

    Here is the Report that came in just so people don’t wonder and start rumors on what happened. Eric will be missed by many he was a great friend. Man killed in parachute jump from radio tower Updated: 11/18/2004 10:08:44 AM TOWNSHIP OF SOMERSET, Wis. (AP) - A Minnesota man has died while parachuting from a radio tower in western Wisconsin. St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead said Erich Wagar, 32, may not have known how close he was getting to the ground after jumping because it was foggy. Hillstead said the Brooklyn Park man and a friend from Hutchinson were jumping from a radio tower Wednesday afternoon. The sheriff said the two jumped from about 940 feet. Wagar's parachute opened, but not in time to slow his impact into a hill. Another person jumped shortly after Wagar, but was not injured. Hillstead said the two men were experienced "free fallers" -- individuals who parachute, not from a plane, but from fixed objects such as tall buildings, cliffs or towers.
