Former Star Swimmer Died of Fentanyl Poisoning

THE DAILY MADNESS –

Aug. 27, 2023 – The boyfriend and a friend then took Cail to Myrah Keating-Smith Clinic, where doctors attempted to perform CPR before she was pronounced dead. 

Police previously said the Criminal Investigation Bureau was investigating Cail’s death.

As a teenager, Cail won a gold medal in the 800 free relay as a member of the U.S. team at the 1997 Pan Pacific Championships, according to the swimming news website SwimSwam.

She won the California high school championship in the 200-meter individual medley and the 500 free, and she swam at the University of Southern California, according to SwimSwam.

She was also a swimmer with the University of Maine from 2000 to 2001, according to the school’s alumni association.

Deaths from drug overdoses involving fentanyl — a powerful opioid used to treat severe pain that can also be lethal, even in small doses — have been on the rise in the U.S. in recent years. There were more than 100,000 deaths from drug overdoses in 2021, most of which were caused by fentanyl, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
