BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Suspicious circumstances and drugs have been ruled out as causes of death after a 23-year-old passed away at the Western Washington University rec center.
The University sent out an advisory to students and staff on Friday stating the man was found unresponsive in a hot tub.
Whatcom County Medical Examiner Gary Goldfogel told the Western Front his death most likely resulted from a cardiac rhythm abnormality following a strenuous workout, but there are still more tests to be done.
The man was identified as Christopher Kuyvenhoven, a community member using the rec center as a guest.
