Triathalon swim deaths 2008 rising. What is going on?

What is going on and why are autopsys coming back "cause of death unknown." The numbers are concerning, but the lack of explanation is really bothering me. It makes me feel as if something is being hidden. We have come a long way with CT scans, PET scans, x-rays, serum chemical analysis. I don't buy "cause of death unknown" with modern day capabilities.

Wow! 7 Thats a lot. I wonder where those figures come from. Over this weekend its news that in NY 4 died this week in the surf due to currents and 3 are missing. Thats swimming in surf on beaches and not in races.
www.nytimes.com/.../22triathlon.html "Neira’s death was the sixth during a triathlon this year. All occurred during the swim portion of the event, said Kathy Matejka, director of event services at USA Triathlon." That was last weekend. This weekend, another man died in the swim leg of a Tri in Idaho.
