The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the Saturday drowning death of 21-year-old Dartmouth College swimmer Tate Ramsden.
According to ABC, Ramsden had been swimming practice laps with his sister, uncle and a cousin when he decided to practice his “underwater swimming techniques.”
“It is believed he was likely attempting to complete a ‘100’ which is four laps across the pool without surfacing for air,” Sarasota Sheriff’s Officer Douglas Stidham told ABC.
Additionally, officers reported that “water and blood came from Ramsden’s nose and mouth throughout the attempts to revive him.”
Ramsden’s autopsy results are still pending.
