AN investigation has opened into the weekend deaths of a skydiving instructor and a student, both from Iceland, who died during jumps with a group in Florida, a law enforcement official said.
The two men took part with 20 other people on Saturday in skydiving jumps from a plane in Zephyrhills, northeast of Tampa, said Pasco County sheriff's spokeswoman Melanie Snow. They were reported missing, touching off a long search on Saturday.
Snow said the air-and-ground search began when only 20 of the 22 skydivers returned from their jumps late Saturday morning. The bodies were discovered by spotters from the air early Saturday evening in woods south of the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.
Snow would not comment on whether the parachutes of the skydivers had opened.
