Two men were killed in separate skydiving crashes within three days in Illinois, officials said. The first death was reported the evening of July 7 when a 48-year-old man had an accident at Skydive Chicago, according to the LaSalle County Coroner’s Office.

Less than a week before the deadly accident, Dr. Noel Liu announced he had just gotten his skydiving license. Alex Morgan, one of the best women's soccer players in U.S. history, announced her retirement from the game last fall.
