Jamie Cail was found dead just after midnight on February 21. Her partner found her at the couple’s home in St. John, one of the Virgin Islands. Together with a friend, he took the former swimmer to a nearby clinic.
The doctors tried to resuscitate the 42-year-old, but all help came too late. It is still unclear how the sudden death of the 1998 vice world champion could have happened. Police are not ruling anything out at this point.
The US Swimming Association is shocked by the sudden death of the former swimmer. “The US Swim Team is deeply saddened by the death of Jamie Cail,” said Executive Director Lindsay Mintenko. “Jamie was a proud member of our national teams in the late 1990s and a valued teammate. Our condolences to Jamie’s friends and family.”
Her former teammate Jooyoung Lee also expresses his condolences. “I’ve never met anyone who had the work ethic that Jamie had. She was so tough, a serious competitor. But outside the pool she was a very sweet and sensitive person.”
On the island of St. John, friends and acquaintances lay flowers in front of Cail’s house. “She had a big heart, she was sweet and kind, she was popular and everyone knew her. Everyone loved her,” a friend of the swimmer told American broadcaster WMUR. (mab)
