Chicago woman who skydived at age 104 has died: ‘She was indefatigable’

Dorothy Hoffner passed away in senior community before Guinness Records could certify her as world's oldest skydiver

Dorothy Hoffner, a 104-year-old Chicago woman whose recent skydive could see her certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest person to ever jump from a plane, has died.

Hoffner's close friend, Joe Conant, said she was found dead Monday morning by staff at the Brookdale Lake View senior living community. Conant said Hoffner apparently died in her sleep on Sunday night.
