I saw that, too. At first, I thought he was just a guy riding too fast/carelessly for the bad road surface, presence of unpredictable recreational bikers, kids, etc. Since then, I've read that he may have had a heart attack. In any case, it's terribly sad for the family. Let's keep them in our prayers.

I saw his body lying face down on the ground right by the median surrounded by many that had tried to help him while the ambulance was on its way. Sad to hear he didn't make it :(
