Body of the Russian missing skydiver Vladimir Frolov found in a farm field
December 6th, 2010 - 2:12 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattPerris, Dec 5 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Finally the body of the missing Russian skydiver Vladimir Frolov has been found. He was last seen on the 25th of September when he undertook a solo jump from a plane.
He crashed into the farm field, as his parachute didn’t work. This was determined by the investigators when his dead body was found. So it seems that the parachute is to be blamed for the unfortunate death of the 50-year-old Russian skydiver.
The Riverside County coroner’s officials have identified his body as well.
Vladimir Frolov was traveling alone in the US, so his disappearance went unnoticed for a while. He was deemed as missing when one of his friends phoned the skydiving company and enquired about Frolov’s whereabouts. Then the authorities swung into action and they found his passport in his rental car, which was parked in the airport parking lot five days after he had jumped to his death.
Authorities and rescuers had looked around for him using the aid of ATV’s, horses, sniffing dogs and even a helicopter but they had been unsuccessful. Finally he was found by a farmer who was plowing his field.
