TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Twin Falls County sheriff's deputies have handed prosecutors their investigation into the death of a 73-year-old BASE jumper who leaped from an Idaho bridge with his parachute on fire.
But Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs tells The Times-News of Twin Falls (http://is.gd/VGc5WY ) he wants more information from the sheriff's office before deciding whether to file charges in James Hickey's death.
The California man died May 7 after falling from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River, 500 feet below. Authorities have said Hickey set his parachute on fire as part of a stunt. The coroner said Hickey died of blunt-force trauma.
Loebs said Friday the two brief pages with not a lot of information were turned over Wednesday and that he needs more. He says he plans to meet with the sheriff next week.
