The stuntman that was part of the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony has reportedly died after crashing into a mountain ridge in the Swiss Alps.
Mark Sutton is known for parachuting into the Olympic stadium last summer dressed as James Bond alongside Gary Connery, who was posing as the Queen, during the ceremony to mark the start of the Games.
While the 42-year-old has not been formally identified, a statement by police published by The Metro said: "The victim, a Briton, was 42 years old. He was staying in Chamonix (in France) with 20 followers, considered among the best in the world in this discipline."
Reports have claimed that Sutton jumped from a helicopter at 10,826ft while wearing a wingsuit, but was killed after hitting a ridge close to the hamlet of Le Peuty near Trient.
