Triathlete's Autopsy Inconclusive, Additonal Testing to Come

The ME's office says an autopsy for the NYC Triathlon competitor, who died during the swimming portion of the race, was inconclusive and more tests will be conducted this week. Esteban Neira, from Buenos Aires, was a father of three and a friend described him as an amateur athlete to the NY Times. The Times also notes some witnesses "questioned why it took 15 minutes for him to be pulled from the water and placed in an ambulance," noting that the race's bicyclists and runners, as well as spectator barriers, were in the path. The event's organizers, though, say Neira received the best care once he was rescued.
