I hope the investigation underway reveals how one of the best runners and swimmers in the field managed to drown 30 metres from the finish in full view of lifeguards, medical personnel and hundreds of fans — some of which apparently saw what was happening,” Shorunke, who is from the United Kingdom, said in the post. He did not respond to a request for comment.
Reaction to the Đukić’s death was unanimous in lamenting the tragic loss of life. Some on social media have said that CrossFit is responsible for his death, but CrossFit practitioners who came to watch the games told the Star-Telegram on Thursday that such risk is part of the competition and athletes are well aware of it beforehand. Athletes sign an assumption of risk waiver in order to compete in the games.
Fort Worth police told the Star-Telegram they are not investigating and would only open an investigation if the medical examiner’s office finds the cause of death to be something other than accidental drowning.
