Felix Baumgartner, 56, the Austrian extreme athlete renowned for his record-breaking jump from the stratosphere, has died in a paragliding crash in Porto Sant'Elpidio, Marche, Italy, on Thursday, July 17, at around 4:00 PM. Local Italian media reported "Fearless Felix" crashed into the pool of the Le Mimose campsite after reportedly feeling unwell before taking off.
