Local (French) newspaper article: http://www.ledauphine.com/isere-sud/2014/06/01/choranche-un-base-jumper-porte-disparu-apres-un-saut-dans-le-vercors

Translated summary: Two jumper were supposed to jump one after the other, from bournillon cliff in vercors (French Alps) everything went fine for the first but the second one never landed. First one went back to the top to look for him, did not find him, went down and called rescue at 10:45am sunday. Rescue team looked for him all day without success and searches will continue today. According to newspaper the missing jumper is "an experienced skydiver but only had 30 base jumps", he is in his 50s, French and from Charentes area.

Any updates?

They are still looking for him, the terrain is dangerous and it slows down the research team...

Any updates?

Any updates?

Did they ever find this guy?

that's interesting, I'm searchin on French sites since in BFL there isn't any fatalities reported in Choranche during 2014.

Last news (*) in French I had found , 5 days later after the accident report of his buddy , said that he wasn't still found.
This can be quite possibly a not reported BFL .
the name of the man reported is Paul Royer , and he was in charge with Charente local skydiving club.
Still, I haven't found any confirmation that he was found, neither alive or dead.

I messaged a member of his parachuting club on FB. He said that Paul was never found and police has stopped looking. Also, if I understood his french correctly, they don't want him on the BFL unless evidence is found that he actually died, in part out of respect to his family.

"they don't want him on the BFL unless evidence is found that he actually died"

This is why we have not posted on the BFL ,

One more that comes to mind but wont mention any names is another one in Canada been missing since #240-#241 unless he is found in his gear then we cant post because who knows what has happened to either of them..

That's if they want to be found

i see. there's a thread on that guy in canada here: http://www.basejumper.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2976991

They seem to have found his remains

I will be updating now.
