Recall that in late March of this year Micah True (aka Caballo Blanco) disappeared on a training run in the Gila Wilderness, and was found dead on March 31. He was made famous by Christopher McDougall's book "Born to Run," a book I highly recommend. He was a legend among runners.
His autopsy results were released yesterday. He died of cardiomyopathy, or enlarged heart. His left ventricle was thickened and dilated. Medical examiners could not pinpoint the cause of the heart disease.
He is a person I would have liked to meet or to hear speak....an inspiring individualist who followed his heart. His death seems less tragic as he died doing something he loved.
Here is an article from the NY Daily News with more information.
