Description

At this time, we have no more information this fatality happened on 13th August, and he was eventually found around the 19th of August. If anyone has more information, please contact.
Updated 22nd August :
Rodolphe began Base Jumping against the advice of his coaches and friends. He didn't tell his family about his base jumping activity so nobody knew exactly where he was. This is why search and rescue took so long. He supposedly jumped from the "toit de pratz" a slider off jump in Magland. He has been found dead on a ledge 200m under the exit. No parachute out.
