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.

Sorry, when I said "catastrophe strikes," I was taking about getting hit by a car while biking or something like that. I absolutely agree that we should take responsibility for our own health and be smart about things. I get regular checkups, eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, wear a helmet: all that good stuff and more.
I know there's a tiny risk that I could get attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean, or hit by a car while biking, or suffer a heart attack while running due to some undiagnosed heart condition. But I weigh all of that against the significant risk of poor health if I don't exercise.
I was pretty sure that's what you meant. But it never hurts to remind each other (and sometimes ourselves!) that safety should always be our first concern. Thanks!
