Seems he was wearing a wingsuit. No further details on why he went in.

They recovered his body at 13.30 today as the clouds cleared up.

No further info on why he went in at this time.

6 of us went up about 45 minutes before. Saw him pull up and hiking but jumped before he reached the summit. Waited for about half an hour after landing and then decided to go eat. Never saw a jump or heard an impact from the landing. It was fairly windy at the exit point and probably around 1100 or so when he jumped. All of us flew the classic line and no one experienced any turbulence.
