DUANESBURG, N.Y. - A 29-year-old man leaped out of a plane at 10,000 feet with a camera but no parachute Saturday. His body was found next to a house with a damaged roof, police said.

Sloan Carafello of Schenectady, who was observing on the flight, followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear, officials said.

Police said they did not suspect foul play but would not elaborate.

Robert Rawlins, pilot and owner of theDuanesburg Skydiving Club, said he was flying the single-engine planeand had begun to close the door when Carafello jumped.

His body was found next to a house west of Albany.



Yes, I think he's the next candidate for the Darwin Awards....
