Tragedy

As the sun rises on a crisp April morning in Oklahoma City, Nick Chafey will be among the first to arrive at the starting line of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. His role, however, extends far beyond that of a runner or spectator – he is the on-course medical chairman, overseeing a team of dedicated volunteers tasked with ensuring the safety and well-being of the thousands of participants. For Chafey, this event holds a deeper significance than most.

Konstantin Koltsov, the 42-year-old former Olympic hockey player and boyfriend of world #2 tennis star Aryna Sabalenka, has died by an apparent suicide, according to police reports. The tragic incident occurred early Monday morning at the upscale St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort in Miami, where Koltsov jumped from a balcony. The Miami-Dade Police Department stated that “no foul play is suspected” in Koltsov’s death, which is now under investigation by the homicide bureau as is standard protocol for apparent suicides.
