Overview
- Bigozzi, 49, a widely followed instructor with nearly 6,000 jumps, crashed minutes after a Saturday jump from Monte Compatri on Rome’s outskirts.
- Police, firefighters and paramedics reached the crash site in dense vegetation but were unable to save him.
- Investigators have seized his parachuting equipment and interviewed witnesses to reconstruct the final descent.
- Lines of inquiry include a late main deployment and an ineffective or too-late reserve, though some reports contend both canopies opened.
- An autopsy is expected in the coming days, and video he posted of a successful dive two hours earlier may help establish the timeline; he leaves a wife and two children.
