The Harvard Medical School Department of Legal Medicine has confirmed the death of Zabdiel Boylston Adams '65, who parachuted into the sea off East-ham by accident last summer.
Adam's body was never found, but a jawbone washed up on the beach at Nauset last month has been identified as his. The Med School compared Adam's dental x-rays with six molars remaining in the jawbone.
The fatal accident occurred when Adams tried to land on a beach near his aunt's home in Eastham. He had planned first to land in her back yard, but changed his mind.
Adams was a resident of Eliot House, a member of the Hasty Pudding, and an officer of the Fly Club.
A memorial service will be held Friday, November 11, at Memorial Church.
