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.

    While these kinds of stories are indeed sad, most adults go into athletics with a realization of the risks and benefits. I'd expect that the total of all positive experiences and health benefits from triathlon far outweigh the negative. We all just cross our fingers and hope that, when catastrophe strikes, it doesn't strike us.
