Edit: according to a midshipman on Reddit, they went into cardiac arrest during the run.

Damn RIP. Hope no negligence was involved or it was a result of "suck it up you're not tired". Tragic loss.

Unfortunately, this seems to happen every few years. Terrible.

Sometimes what appears to be the healthiest heart gives out first. @Brett327 is right, it happens every few years and is tragic.
