A Salt Lake City firefighter, Gabe Reilly, dies in an accident during a BASE jump near Millville Canyon in northern Utah on Sunday, officials say. Reports identify him as an experienced BASE jumper.
One outlet says Reilly is an experienced BASE jumper and that the fatal incident occurs near the canyon. Another outlet adds details of the circumstances, including that he is 27 years old and that a wingsuit fails during the jump from about 700 feet. Both accounts describe the death as resulting from the fall during the attempted jump.
The coverage focuses on the same event and location, but differs in the level of specific technical detail provided about the jump, such as the wingsuit failure and the approximate height. Officials have not been cited in the available excerpts regarding any investigation findings or whether charges or additional causes are involved.
