A highly fit doctor from Scotland suffered a heart attack while swimming in preparation for a triathlon, and he eventually died.

Mike “Kippy” Wilson, 46, was recovered from Lochindorb, a freshwater lake, at 12:55 a.m. on Thursday, August 18, according to Daily Record.

Emergency services were called to look for Mike’s body in the water after he was reported missing, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.

According to reports, Mike was training for a triathlon when he died.

More from Daily Record:

Mike, from Aberdeen, was a doctor at Dr Grays Hospital in Elgin and leaves behind his heartbroken wife and two daughters.

His sudden passing has devastated his loved ones. His best friend Mike Watson lead the tributes to the ‘legend’ as he launched a fundraiser in his memory.

Speaking to the Record, Mike [bestfriend] said: “He was the most incredible friend who would bend over backwards for those he cared about, and I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got to be a part of his life.

“He was the friend I could call at three in the morning and would pick up, just as I would him.

“He had a great sense of humour, humanity and sense of adventure.

“He would call on a Saturday with the most ridiculous proposition. ‘Hey, lets go climb a Munro today… Hey, let’s go dog surfing in winter… Hey let’s go jump out and cycle 100 miles’. Whatever it was, I was always up for the adventure – albeit I sometimes needed a little prodding.

Mike hopes to raise funds for his best mate’s funeral and had planned a one-day 151-mile cycle in his memory from Whitby to Blackpool using Kippy’s bike.

Mike said: “He touched the lives of many, and it’s our turn to give back to his family in their time of need.

“In true ‘Kippy’ fashion, he thought he would live forever and made no preparations for his future. Due to the sudden death, I am raising funds to assist his family with funeral, memorial and legal expenses.

“As my cycling trainer, partner and general therapist, I will be cycling from Whitby to Blackpool 151 miles in one day – I hope to do this on Mike’s bike.”

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
