A British wingsuit champion who featured in a BBC documentary was killed during a jump in the Swiss Alps, his parents have confirmed.
Liam Byrne, from Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, was critically injured on the 7874ft Gitschen mountain in Switzerland on Saturday.
His parents confirmed to BBC Scotland that their 24-year-old son had died.
'We would like to remember Liam not just for the way he left this world, but for how he lived in it,' a family statement read.
'Liam was fearless, not necessarily because he wasn't afraid but because he refused to let fear hold him back. He chased life in a way that most of us only dream of and he soared.'
