It is comforting to assume that he wasn't fit (couldn't have been, right?), didn't train smart (ie, not like me), and didn't get check ups (because early detection of coronary artery disease, among other conditions, in an asymptomatic individual is straightforward, isn't it?).
The reality is that there is some degree risk of risk associated with a swim like this even under favorable conditions. And these conditions were most certainly not favorable.
