Tragic Drowning of N.C. State Swimmer Jack Roney | Boise News
Description
Tragic accident claims life of beloved N.C. State swimmer and coach Jack Roney, 39, who drowned while practicing breath-holding at a local pool — his wife pulled him from the water and performed CPR before help arrived. The medical examiner ruled it accidental, citing shallow water blackout, a rare but deadly condition even for elite athletes. His father warns of the hidden dangers of prolonged underwater breath-holding. A GoFundMe is supporting his family, and a memorial pavilion is planned at Lake Johnson Pool as the community mourns a devoted husband, father, and former Wolfpack star.
