An Ohio Man Died on a Skydiving Trip His Wife Won on “Ellen”

Here is a reason that Ellen should keep the alcohol flowing this holiday season. There is just pure bad luck for some people and for a woman that won a skydiving trip to Australia from the Ellen Degenerous show, luck was definatly not on her side.

The trip to Australia was on and the trip was a dream right up until the skydiving lesson. Cherilyn McGraw did a tandem jump, but her husband Brandon, a Marine with skydiving experience, jumped solo.

It was all going well until the end. An employee from the skydiving school said that just before landing, Brandon turned sharply left, then right, then crashed into the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
