Famous Adventurer Johnny Strange Dies at 23

The young three-time world record holding adventurer was killed during a wingsuiting accident

Johnny Strange was known to be a daredevil, but one adventure went horribly wrong.

E! News has learned that the young three-time world record holding adventurer has died at the age of 23 from a wingsuiting accident.

Multiple sources connected to Strange tell TMZ, who first reported the story, that Johnny was in Switzerland and something went wrong with his jump. No other details on the accident are known.

Strange called in to KROQ's Kevin and Bean show on Monday from Switzerland, telling the hosts that he was shooting a dangerous wingsuit proximity video where "we fly super close to stuff." Upon learning the horrible news, Kevin and Bean took to Twitter to share their condolences:

Strange posted a YouTube video on his Facebook on Tuesday of himself doing some wingsuiting, captioning the clip, "I don't exactly know what this video has to do with the Kevin and Bean show interview, but it was fun to make and we ended up BASE jumping...I also got to witness Domi Nik perform live Andreas Kaino ‪#‎ApexBASE‬ ‪#‎TonySuits‬."

Johnny's feats gained him recognition at a very young age. "At age 12 he climbed his first world class peak, Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica," his website states. "This began his journey towards climbing all 7 of the world's highest peaks, a goal which he achieved at the young age of 17.  This feat put him in the record books as the youngest person to successfully summit the highest peaks in the world.  Since then, he's gone on countless adventures all over the globe."

The website continues, "For Johnny Strange, adventure is a way of life and he seeks it out whether it's base jumping into the Grand Canyon, surfing 30 foot waves in Hawaii or skateboarding down the side of a mountain, Johnny Strange is a man who exemplifies courage, strength and excitement.

"What really makes him so successful, however, is that he lives his life with purpose. Everything he does is dedicated to helping raise awareness about Parkinson's Disease and bringing about an end to genocide all over the world. Johnny Strange is an adventurer in the truest sense of the word but he is also an avid humanitarian who is deeply passionate about the causes he supports."
