A Delaware County lawyer who was mayor of the tiny borough of Rutledge died Friday while skydiving in Gloucester County, authorities said. Carter Scott Shields, 45, plummeted into woods about 4:25 p.m. in Williamstown after his main parachute failed to open, said Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office. County detectives determined that Shields' emergency chute activated automatically but failed to open completely, Weisenfeld said. On Friday night, his Facebook page was filled with stunned comments from family and friends, many repeating a reference to his love of skydiving: "Blue skies."
First off I'd like to send my condolences to Mr. Shields. Blue skies, sweet prince. Blue skies.
On another note, life is straight fucked. I mean if a mayor is gonna die jumping out of a plane how is God not gonna pick you-know-who.
