BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — An investigation is underway after a skydiver died in northern Colorado over the weekend.

The Boulder Daily Camera reports Timothy DeTine, of Littleton, landed in a parking area near the Vance Brand Municipal Airport in Longmont on Saturday morning and died at a hospital.

Longmont police Cmdr. Joel Post says the case has been turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration, and he declined to release any more information. FAA officials also declined comment.

The Camera reports the death is the second involving skydiving in the area in the past year.
