Famous Canadian wingsuit flyer dead

Wingsuit flying is not for the faint of heart.

One of the sports best was Canadian Graham Dickinson, who's daring jumps had made him famous in the skydiving, BASE jumping and wingsuiting world.

His body was found last Thursday on a cliff in the Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in the central province of Hunan, China.

The day before, he posted a picture of the mountain on his Facebook page, accompanied by a smiling emoji and the description "feeling like he is dreaming."

Dickinson had had some brushes with fame, the most notable being when he BASE jumped Whistler's Peak 2 Peak gondola.

According to the WWL, Dickinson was travelling in China alone with a mission to scout and open new jumping exit points.

He was reported missing by friends on Wednesday and local search and rescue personnel found his body the next morning.
