That’s terrible ~~ my prayers go out to his family
.
How terrible! For those who can’t go to the link, this is an excerpt from the Pensacola News Journal:
“A Montana resident who had to be rescued from the Gulf of Mexico while swimming part of the Ford Ironman Florida has died, authorities said.”
Deepest sympathies to his family and friends. A terrible shame.
Has this happened before? I hope it was an isolated tragedy.
Ironman Utah …a fellow drowned there as well.
Very sad, and unfortunately not an isolated incident. A man died on the swim at Boulder Peak a couple years ago (however he was older and it was determined a heart attack).
