Anyone hear about the camera-man who jumps without gear?

The incident at CSS was suicide. The Police investigation found a suicide note at his home.

His girlfriend of many years moved out and announced she was Marrying someone else.

I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

I've never heard this before. Do you have any source to point us to?

I believe you are thinking of the more recent death involving a spectator.

as a family member, please do not say hurtful things, and ask to see the video, this is very disrespectful, and thank you for those who respected these wishes in this thread

While I respect that, creating an account to resurrect a 6 yr old thread might not be the best way to "make this go away"...

The story is true. His name was Ivan McGuire, it was April 2, 1988, I was the student he was filming, and it was my first tandem free-fall. In the plane his back was against the bulkhead. His camera was a bulky VCR Camcorder, mounted on his chest with a shoulder harness, which may be why no one noticed he had no rig. We lost a good man that day.
