‘Body pulled from water’ at CrossFit Games event in Fort Worth after drowning call & swimmer seen struggling in video
A BODY has been pulled from a lake where a CrossFit Games event was held after a reported drowning shortly after the competition began.
Emergency crews responded to reports of a drowning at around 8 am on Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas.
MedStar reported that a person drowned in the Marine Creek Reservoir, according to local CBS affiliate KTVT-TV.
Horrifying video from the scene appears to show the Fort Worth Fire Department pulling an unresponsive body out of the water and putting it in a body bag.
A run-swim competition event for the 2024 CrossFit Games started at the lake at 7 am – just an hour before emergency crews were called.
Before reports of the drowning came in, there was speculation that a swimmer had vanished.
The reports were sparked by footage of a competitor in the event struggling in the water.
The event was set to be live-streamed on multiple platforms, but the video feed has been cut.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to CrossFit Games and the FWFD for comment.
