A Scottish wingsuit flyer has died during a jump in the Swiss Alps.
British champion Liam Byrne, 24, was critically injured on the Gitschen mountain on Saturday after taking off from 7,874ft (2,400m).
Mr Byrne, from Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, featured in a recent BBC documentary called The Boy Who Can Fly.
He was described as a very experienced wingsuit flyer - which is a type skydiving which involves wearing a special suit with webbing to allow mid-air lift - and had completed hundreds of jumps during his career.
His parents, Mike and Gillian, confirmed to BBC Scotland News that their son had died.
A statement said: "Though he has now flown beyond our reach, he will always be with us."
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed it was supporting the family of a British man who died in Switzerland.
