Heavily pregnant former Olympian, 26 year old Meskerem Legesse, suddenly
collapsed and died while having lunch with her two year old son in a
restaurant in Connecticut on Monday July 15th.
The Ethiopia runner, who was three weeks from her due date (pictured
above minutes before collapsing) was given CPR at the restaurant before
an ambulance rushed her to a hospital where she was declared dead. Fortunately the doctors were able to save her baby.
The cause of death was unclear but her friend told reporters that the
professional runner had suffered heart problems in the past and that's
why she retired early from sports. So sad! RIP, Meskerem!
