    Triathlete Found Dead in Gulf Surf

    A man was found floating face down in the Gulf of Mexico in the Long Beach
    area behind Pineapple Willies at Panama City Beach Monday morning.

    The emergency call went out about 9:15 a.m. and when paramedics arrived they
    found Panama City Beach firefighters already giving CPR to the victim.

    He was rushed to a local hospital where he died a short time later.

    His identity is being withheld until relatives overseas are notified. He was
    a 53-year-old triathlete from Sweden and was here with his wife and children
    training for Saturday's Iron Man competition when he died.

    An autopsy is being performed to determine if the man actually drowned or
    died from other causes. Blue swimming flags were flying at the time of the
    mishap.

    How sad. Wonder what happened to him or if we'll ever know?

    The surf was up a bit when this happened, according to reports I've heard
    from the area. Red flag conditions today. Once the front comes through
    things will flatten out quite a bit, and race day should be pretty good.

    Sorry to hear that one who traveled so far to participate had something
    so terrible happen to them. My condolences to the family.
