Extreme sports fan jumps to death from dam

June 21, 2010 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Foul play is not suspected in the weekend death of a man who was apparently a thrill-seeker.

A man was killed Saturday in Delaware County in eastern Iowa after jumping from a dam into a river. Authorities say the man jumped at least 50 feet into the Maquoketa River from the Lake Delhi dam.

The man was known for being active in extreme-risk sporting events. It’s believed he jumped intentionally, thinking he would survive. The body was recovered. The man’s name hasn’t been released.
