A paraglider who was found dead in Co Wicklow in May died of a heart attack, a report has found.
The pilot launched from a location at Sorrel Hill with the intention of conducting a cross-country flight to Wexford town.
A fellow paraglider pilot also witnessed the launch on May 11th.
The pilot gained height and then proceeded in a south-easterly direction towards the Glenmalure Valley.
A mobile phone app used by the pilot showed the entire flight - from the launch point to the north slope of Ballinacor Mountain.
The pilot did not reply to a phone message sent later that day, and was declared missing.
His body was found on May 12th on Ballinacor Mountain, still attached to the pilot's seat harness.
