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.
It is a stretch to say that cardiac issues are connected with swimming. You can have electrical failure while sleeping.
Cardiac issues can be connected to stress (excitement, hypoxia, starting or stopping exercise), shock (cold water with insufficient prep time or insufficient acclimation), long exposure to cold temp, and so forth. When it happens in water you drown.
