A 42-year-old Brazilian man was killed Monday after he and another skydiver collided in midair Monday afternoon at Skydive DeLand, according to a preliminary investigation.

Police identified the victim as Giulianno Scotti, 42.

Police said the preliminary investigation revealed Scotti collided midair with another skydiver and he fell in the 1600 block of Lexington Avenue. Responding units attempted life-saving measures, but Scotti was pronounced dead at scene, investigators said.

First responders treated the second skydiver on scene for minor injuries.

The Volusia County Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy to determine Scotti's cause of death, police said.

Spotify's 'Listening Party' feature falls short of expectations
It’s been three years since Spotify acquired live audio startup Betty Labs, and yet the music streaming service isn’t leveraging the technology to its fullest potential — at least not in our opinion. Betty Labs-owned Locker Room launched in 2020 as a sports-focused social audio app where sports fans could engage in live conversations, create watch parties and react to games in real time. When Spotify bought the app, it rebranded it as Greenroom, a Clubhouse clone that catered to all types of fans, whether they’re interested in sports, fantasy football, music or other topics.
