The stuntman who parachuted into the London 2012 opening ceremony as James Bond has been killed in an accident, BBC reports.
Briton Mark Sutton, 42, from Surrey, died during a wing-diving event near Martigny, Switzerland, on Wednesday.
Police said they did not yet know the cause but it is thought Mr. Sutton died after crashing into a ridge of rock.
Mr. Sutton doubled for Daniel Craig’s James Bond as he and another stuntman playing the Queen memorably entered the Olympic Stadium from a helicopter.
Mr. Sutton, a former army officer, is thought to have dived from a helicopter flying at 3,300m (10,826ft) intending to land at a village just across the border in France.
But reports say the stuntman hit a ridge of rock, suffering fatal injuries. Rescuers believe Mr. Sutton died on impact.
