According to a press release from the Norwegian Swimming Federation, world champion Alexander Dale Oen was found dead in Flagstaff, Arizona, this morning. He had been talking on Skype to his family back in Norway, just moments before being found lifeless in the shower. They rushed him to Flagstaff Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Everyone is in shock, we’ll probably here a lot more, for now my deepest, utmost condolences from a friend in the Faroes. Aftenposten, VG, NRK, BBC.
