The five-time Olympian Daniela Larreal Chirinos was found dead inside her Las Vegas apartment after the retired cyclist choked to death on her food, police have said.
The 50-year-old’s body was found after she failed to show up at the hotel in Las Vegas where she worked and was checked on, Fox Sports reported.
Larreal was one of Venezuela’s best-known athletes, having competed in sprint cycling in the summer games of Barcelona in 1992, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004 and London in 2012.
Though she never medalled at the Olympics, she did win a pair of golds at the Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador in 2002. And, a year later, she won two silver medals at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo.
