FTFA: Dutch police are investigating how the body of skydiver lay undetected in a field for more than a week.

My guess is all sprawled out and crushed flat with some parts at odd angles. Don't they take pictures before they move the body?

The most extreme sports always involve doing death-defying feats and making sure not to contact anyone you know beforehand so they can check up on your progress or if your will was filed properly. EXTREEEEEME!
