Authorities say they believe a person fell from the sky after their parachute failed to deploy.
"I heard a thud, we thought a car hit somebody then I saw this white thing lying there," said Rosemary Ilgenfritz.
Kayla Maure said, "It's traumatizing. I didn't see it happen, just seeing his body there is traumatizing. Neighbors in the Brookdale development were horrified and quickly called 911."
Neighbors say the deceased was surrounded by a parachute but police told them it appears the backup chute was attached to him.
Police began searching the area for another parachute.
Neighbors also describe seeing more than one skydiver around the same time as the accident leading them to believe more than one person jumped from the same plane.
Crosskeys Airport is only a few miles away and is a popular destination for skydivers.
Residents familiar with Crosskeys skydivers say it appears the victim somehow veered off course.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office says they are investigating this accident.
