The name of the woman who died in a skydiving accident in County Durham is Jade Damarell, 32.

On Sunday, April 27, 2025, the seasoned skydiver, who had made over 400 jumps, went down at Wrefords’ Farm in Shotton, County Durham.

In addition to calling her death unfortunate, the company Sky-High Skydiving stated that there were signs that it was

a deliberate act taken to end her own life.

The circumstances of her death have not yet been determined by a coroner.

Extremely High

We confirm with great sadness that a tragic incident occurred involving a valued member of our community,

stated Skydiving.

As her family and friends deal with this unfathomable tragedy, our sympathies are with them.

We urge anyone in crisis to speak to someone or reach out to a mental health professional.

According to Wrefords’ Farm:

Sadly, a woman lost her life in a parachute incident/accident last Sunday, April 27, 25. We ask that you join us in praying for her and her family, asking the Lord to grant them strength and acceptance into the kingdom of heaven.

“We want that the privacy of our farms and ourselves be maintained in this extremely distressing situation. May God bless you.

According to one of her acquaintances, the Shotton community is

devastated and deeply traumatized.

She was a big part of the skydiving community, so everyone is devastated and deeply traumatized by what happened,

they told Mail Online.

She loved the sport.

She performed eleven jumps in the final two days of her life. This year, she must have completed 80.
