The last American diver to win gold at the Olympics has died suddenly at the age of 43.
Mark Lenzi won gold when he switched from wrestling to diving in the mid-1980s. If you think about the disciplines in each sport that is an amazing switch. And to become an Olympic gold medalist at it? Amazing. Mark had been hospitalized the past few weeks because of fainting and low blood pressure.

I am so narcissistic. I am 43 also and the first thing I thought was, thank God that isnt me. God forgive me. This is sad.
Condolences and thoughts to his loved ones.
Bradley Cooper's brother?
RIP Mark.
To be an Olympian is to have lived the dream.
Such sad news. Rest in Peace Mark.
RIP, I remember watching him dive and win. So sad.
RIP Mark! You were an amazing diver!
I so remember having a crush on
Him. Of course I had a crush on Greg Louganis too. Rip
How awful! Sympathies to his family. Just watching Olympic diving scares the hell out of me. He was an incredible athlete.
RIP. 43 is so young. I agree, watching Olympic diving freaks me out - I'm terrified they're going to smash their heads...*shudder*
