The chief executive officer of Deutsche Telekom Asia, Calvin Lee Wee Sing, died on Sunday after he became ill during the swimming leg of the annual Singapore triathlon, reported Reuters. Lee, 42, appeared to be struggling and disoriented in the water about 350 metres away from the finish line, and was unconscious when brought ashore on a jet ski, the Straits Times reported. Doctors and paramedics failed to revive him, and he was sent to hospital where he was pronounced dead after failed attempts to restart his heart. A police spokeswoman confirmed Lee’s death and said police were investigating the incident as “an unnatural death.” Lee, who joined Deutsche Telekom in 1997, was responsible for international carriers sales and solutions in the Asia Pacific and Middle East.
