I mean, I have zero issue with wanting to understand the risks of dying on a treadmill. And even with that concern being triggered by this death. But that's not something that requires anyone to know the details of how this man died. General info on treadmills, safety, sudden death while exercising covers that. What I really found offensive was the speculation about which hotel they were at and why things were hush hush. That's just plain nosy to me.

Do you work for the hotel or something? It's just curious because the hotel could be liable, and it's weird the hotel said he was not a guest. Don't you find that strange? No one is trying to pry into his medical records or anything.

What I find weird is that he went to the gym at 4pm and was found by his brother at 7pm. Did no one else use the gym in that time? He was all by himself that whole time? I find that really hard to believe.

First bold  It's not strange if he really wasn't a guest.  I've worked at hotels before and non-guests have been known to use workout rooms.  Some going through the proper channels (some hotels charge a day pass fee).  Others not so much.  I.E your friends are staying somewhere else and you give them your key to use the gym.  Some just flat out lie and say they lost their key to get in and then not sign in.  Happens more often then you think.

Second bold -  I find that odd too.  I've never been to that resort, but have worked at other luxury brand resorts.   It's rare for a gym to go 3 hours with no one in there.  Not impossible, but rare. What is even stranger to me is a staff member didn't go in either.   SOPs where I worked had either staffing in the gym or at the very least someone going in every so often to make sure it's clean and tidy.

ETA - just read an article and it said the gym was part of a villa.  Not a hotel.  So that would explain why Four Seasons said he wasn't a guest.

I read that after I posted. Makes more sense now.

I find all this curiosity really unseemly. Perhaps they're not revealing these details because, while they're very well known, ultimately this is a personal and private tragedy?

My dad died very young, at 52.  Usually the first question people ask, is "how?".  I think it's human nature and natural to want to know.  

(It was a brain hemorrhage followed by multiple strokes a few months later while recovering from the hemorrhage by the way.)
