Alex "Chumpy" Pullin, a two-time world champion who competed in three Olympics for Australia, died while spearfishing in Australia on Wednesday. He was 32 years old.
"Paramedics were called to a post-immersion incident off Nineteenth Avenue at Palm Beach just after 10.30am," said the Queensland Ambulance Service in a statement Wednesday, according to CNN. "One patient was treated at the scene."
Pullin was Australia's flag bearer at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. He twice won the snowboard cross world championship—once in 2011 and again in 2013.
Pullin was an experienced diver who posted about spearfishing on his social media accounts.
