MOAB, UT—In a shocking development that experts are calling ‘completely foreseeable,’ renowned daredevil Andy Lewis, best known for performing gravity-defying stunts with Madonna at the 2012 Super Bowl and gravity-defying stunts with gravity every other day, has died doing exactly what he was world-famous for. Authorities confirmed that Lewis, 36, and an unnamed accomplice met their end in a Utah canyon, which, for the record, never asked to be part of BASE jumping history.

‘Andy was a pioneer in the science of convincing gravity to chill out for a minute,’ said Professor Robert Splat, Head of the Center for Applied Recklessness at the University of Nevada. ‘He lived by the motto: If at first you don’t succeed, try a lower altitude.’

The BASE jumping community, which is basically five guys named Chad and a GoPro, announced a candlelight vigil to be held on the edge of something tall. ‘Andy always told us, “Life is short—so are most of my descents,”’ said fellow jumper Mason “Vertical Pancake” Klein. ‘His impact—no pun intended—on our sport will not be forgotten.’

Meanwhile, Madonna released a statement remembering Lewis as ‘the only slackliner who didn’t immediately try to sell me a cryptocurrency.’ She added, ‘May he jump his way into the afterlife, ideally with a parachute this time.’
