Provincial police have now turned the case over to the Office of the Chief Coroner, OPP said in a statement.

A 51-year-old man from Alexandria, Ont., suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the incident and remains in hospital recovering, the update noted. Police have not released his name.

OPP said they notified the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) about the incident, but a spokesperson for the independent federal agency said the TSB is not involved at this point.

The TSB would only get involved if there was an issue with the aircraft used for skydiving in this case, spokesperson Dean Campbell told Global News.
