There seem to be some unknowns, as well as discordant information (or statements).
An earlier poster mentioned someone describing the deceased prior to the race as "apprehensive and sweating bullets." I believe these are symptoms associated with cardiac distress. (But maybe he wasn't sweating bullets...)
And on this thread

there is a report (third-hand) of the person who discovered him, floating face-down, 1/2 mile from the start.
I don't know who said he died within a minute of the jump, or on what basis.
