Any information on the bicyclist who collapsed and died on Saturday?
The following was posted to our fb page this morning:
"I thought this might be a good place to post! My uncle passed away this weekend very suddenly. He went for a bike ride and collapsed. He happened to have met and talked to another biker during the trip who tried to help by calling 911 for my Uncle...This person was apparently riding on the "JAIL TRAIL" and chatting with him on Saturday when he collapsed. I'm going to guess he was a local. My Aunt is really looking for closure and feels like she needs to talk to this person to hear about what they were talking about and his last words. She also wants to thank this person. Did that person happen to be anyone on this site??"

I was at the ETC across Second Avenue when this was happening. I noticed there were half a dozen cyclists standing across the way when the EMTs showed up.

The man who passed away is the father of the woman who cuts my hair. She's such an awesome person, and I feel awful for her. So sad.

Thank you everyone in this community for your help! We found the guy who gave him CPR through Facebook and he plans on attending the viewing. Thank you all again and please keep the Chieffe family in your prayers.
