‘Below Deck’ Cameraman Who Saved Cast Member’s Life in Coma After Suffering 2 Strokes
The fitness community is mourning a loss.
Nayeli Clemente died on May 2 after participating in a distance-running endurance challenge called “Team Pyramid Run,” the Cholula Games confirmed to Daily Mail May 9. She was 24.
The competition, in which people increasingly run longer distances, happened during the Cholula Games, a fitness competition in San Andrés Cholula, Mexico. Nayeli was taken to the hospital after collapsing in the 96-degree heat.
She passed away a day later, according to event organizers.
“During the main event of the Cholula Games, an athlete developed a medical complication,” Cholula Games’ statement to Daily Mail read. “She was treated by the event’s medical team and transported alive to a private hospital, where she sadly died the following day.”
Prior to her passing, Nayeli’s brother Kevin Armando Hernández shared insight into her hospitalization, explaining that she had “suffered a sudden stroke.”
He also paid tribute to his sister, describing the physical therapist as someone who is “passionate about healing and caring for others; a strong woman, an athlete, and a nature lover.”
