A competitor in the CrossFit Games has died while competing in a swimming event on Thursday morning at a Texas lake
CrossFit CEO Don Faul said during a news conference that the organization was “deeply saddened” by the death of one of their athletes, and they were working with authorities on the investigation into the death.
He said the fire department was not on the scene when the initial call was made. The athlete’s body was found about an hour later. Faul said CrossFit had safety personnel on site at the event.
