Correction: Skydiver Death-Illinois story

OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) - In a story June 16 about a fatal skydiving accident, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the skydiver's parachute apparently failed to open. LaSalle County Undersheriff Mike Renner said Monday that the parachute opened but appeared to get tangled.
