(CNN) — A fugitive pilot taken into custody at a Florida campground with
deep cuts on his wrists was incoherent and bleeding so profusely he likely
would not have survived another hour, a federal agent who participated in the
raid said Wednesday.

Financial manager Marcus Schrenker, who officials say tried to fake his
own death by parachuting out of a plane while over Alabama, was found late
Tuesday at a campsite near Quincy, Florida.

Schrenker was “verbally resistant” to authorities’ offer of medical help
and was muttering a phrase with the word “die,” said Frank Chinmento, assistant
chief of the U.S. Marshals Office in Florida.

Schrenker, who was charged Tuesday in Indiana with one felony count each
of an unlawful act by a compensated adviser and unlawful transaction by an
investment adviser, was transported to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. He
remained there Wednesday, officials said.

Chinmento said Schrenker was alone and had plenty of food, water and
clothes and seemed prepared to be on the run for a while.
