Athlete Dies After Swimming 2.4 Miles of the Hudson River During Ironman Triathlon
An unidentified 43-year-old man competing in today's Ironman U.S. Championship was hospitalized and later died after "experiencing distress" following the event's swimming portion. The cause of death is not yet known, but this isn't the first time this has happened: Last summer, two Nautica New York City Triathlon competitors also died in the Hudson.
