An Olympic runner was found dead in a swimming pool at an apartment complex in Scottsdale Monday morning, police said.

David Torrence, 31, was found at the bottom of the pool at Center Court Condominiums near Scottsdale and Thomas roads around 7:30 a.m., Scottsdale police said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Torrence, a University of California-Berkeley alum, left his home in Malibu, California, to train in Arizona a few weeks ago, according to a police press release.

He originally ran for the United States Olympic team, but ended up switching and running for Peru, his mother's home country, in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
