Tech CEO killed in horror mid-air skydiving crash after ‘pal's knee hit his head' as cousin pays tribute to ‘family man'
A TECH CEO was killed when his friend's knee smashed into his head in a freak mid-air skydiving collision.

He was rushed to a local hospital but tragically died from his injuries. Thomas, CEO of Voluy Telecom, was described by his family as a "very experienced" skydiver who had been jumping from planes since 2014. He and his friend bagan their jump from the Boituva National Skydiving Center in São Paulo state. read more in world news BIKINI BRAWL Moment women brawl on beach in Ukraine after group 'played Russian music' His dive partner was reportedly also treated in hospital. Both the parachutes and a helmet were seized by police, and forensics are working to identity the precise cause of death. Police are also investigating the death, which is currently being treated as suspicious. Thomas's cousin, Mayra, paid him an emotional tribute. She told G1: "He worked very hard, was very loving to his son, to his family. "He was so experienced, it was such a silly accident. No one ever imagined it would happen." Tragic Highway Crash in Idaho: Seven Dead in Tour Van Collision Mayra continued: "I was getting ready to go get my nails done when I got the phone call. I broke the news of the death to the rest of the family. I live in Uberlândia and had to come to Pouso Alegre. He was so young, he was in the best phase of his life, doing something he loved so much. "Despite the distance, we were always close. Thomas was also best man at my wedding." She insisted: "There was no one who didn't love him." Their statement read: 'His energy, commitment, and passion for innovation left a profound mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him. "In this time of mourning, we join in solidarity with his family, friends, and all who share this great loss." Thomas's company remembered him as a passionate leader. The Brazilian Parachuting Confederation (CBPq) said it regretted the accident, and explained that the collision happened during the separation phase of a "Desloc" jump. This is a free flight technique where the parachutist uses the body to generate lift and horizontal movement while falling. The CBPq has already instructed a technical expert to prepare a report into the accident. A statement from the parachuting body read: "At this difficult time, our thoughts are with our athlete, his family, and the entire skydiving community. "We reiterate our commitment to the safety and integrity of everyone involved in our sporting activity." The Boituva city hall confirmed that both jumped had their parachutes open when they landed - but that Thomas's decent was uncontrolled. He was rescued by the Fire Department and taken to São Luís Hospital, where his death was confirmed.

SPFL club hit with bombshell 15-point deduction just days after first game of new season
The club have released a statement on their punishment CLUB IN CRISIS SPFL club hit with bombshell 15-point deduction just days after first game of new season Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EDINBURGH CITY have been slapped with a 15-point deduction by the SPFL. The League Two outfit have been dealt the punishment in relation to SPFL rules on clubs 'suffering an insolvency event.' Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Edinburgh City's Meadowbank Stadium home Credit: Willie Vass 2 Michael McIndoe led Edinburgh City to a third-place finish last season The club have faced numerous off and on-field challenges in recent times. They reached League One in 2022 and finished sixth in their first season in the third tier. But the 2023/24 campaign would prove an immensely difficult one as the club dealt with a major financial crisis. They were hit with a six-point deduction during the season after failing to pay their players. A whole host of first team players then left the club leaving behind a squad of loanees and youngsters to see out the campaign. The club were relegated back to League Two where the challenges have continued. Edinburgh City's SPFL status was plunged into doubt with the club struggling to attain an SFA bronze licence, which they ultimately managed to do in June last year. Despite the continued issues and limited resources, boss MIchael McIndoe led the side to an unexpectedly successful campaign that saw the club reach the play-offs after finishing third. But just as the current campaign kicks into gear, they've been hit with another massive setback in the form of this fresh 15-point deduction. Record on Companies House show that the club appointed a provisional liquidator in a winding up order last month. That appointment was quickly terminated with documents showing the reason for the termination as 'payment of petitioning debt in full.' Under SPFL rules, the appointment of a liquidator automatically triggers a 15-point deduction. It's designated as an 'insolvency event.' The governing body's Rule E1 states: "Where a Club takes, suffers or is subject to a Deductible Insolvency Event that Club shall…be deducted 15 points and 5 points in the League in consecutive Seasons." The club quickly responded once the SPFL had made news of the deduction public. And they've announced they will instantly be kicking-off an appeal against the decision. They said: "Edinburgh City FC hereby acknowledges the penalty imposed upon it by the SPFL this morning. "The Club will begin its appeal process immediately. "No further comment will be made at this time." More to follow...
