San Pedro man collapses at Redondo Beach Triathlon, dies at local hospital
"Michael Giardino was finishing the swimming leg of the race near the Redondo Beach pier when he collapsed Sunday. The father of two experienced shortness of breath and was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Redondo Beach Patch website. Cause of death was not immediately known. Giardino was 48."
Since his father died of heart attack, it's possible it's the cause of his death, too, as in many triathlon fatalities. Why most heart attacks happened during swimming and not running?
