Married marketing manager Jade Damarell, 32 — who had more than 400 successful jumps — was killed instantly during her latest skydive Sunday as she crashed into a farmer’s field in County Durham in northeast England, Metro reported.

Police said it is “not being treated as suspicious” — and the company she jumped with said that “all indications from the police and British Skydiving are that this was a deliberate act taken to end her own life.”

‘This heartbreaking news has deeply affected all who knew her, and our thoughts are with her family and friends as they face this unimaginable loss,” added the company, SkyHigh Skydiving.

“We urge anyone in crisis to speak to someone or reach out to a mental health professional.”

A friend told the Daily Mail that “everyone is devastated and deeply traumatised” by the 32-year-old’s death because “she was very much part of the skydiving community.”

‘She was mad for the sport,” the unidentified friend said. “In just the two days before she died, she did 11 jumps. She must have done 80 this year.”

At least one person witnessed Damarell jump to her death, according to the outlet.

Wrefords’ Farm’s, where Damarell died, confirmed that a woman “tragically” lost her life in a skydiving accident Sunday in an online post.

On Wednesday, the farm planted a new cherry tree “as a memorial to the young lady who tragically lost her life in the parachute incident” and invited locals to come and place flowers at the farm gates.

The local police department, the Durham Constabulary, said: “Her death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will now be prepared for the coroner.”
