  1. This is so beautiful. She lived more than a century and was healthy enough skydive. She passed away after living a full life. How great to cross off a bucket list entry even up to death. RIP Dorothy

  2. I'm glad she did what she wanted to do, but, I don't know, that might have been a bit too much G force for her diurnal rhythmicity. But many, many people have died younger, and only several have lived longer.

  3. The way the video makes it sound is like the skydiving is related to her death. If her body didn't do anything funky while she was skydiving and she got up off the floor just fine then there's no relation.
