This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 104-year-old woman has died a little more than a week after she potentially broke the world record for the oldest skydiver.
Dorothy Hoffner jumped 13,500 feet from a plane with Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Ill., on Oct. 1.
She likely died in her sleep Monday at Brookdale Senior Living, the center said.
“The associates at Brookdale Lake View are deeply saddened by the passing of our resident, Dorothy Hoffner,” the statement said. "
We were thrilled to see her continue to live with passion and purpose, skydiving earlier this month at 104 and ultimately proving that age is just a number.
The current record belongs to Linnéa Ingegärd Larsson of Sweden, who was 103 when she made a jump in 2022, The Associated Press reported.
