Epoch Times:
The body of 70-year-old Frank Meza was found shortly before 10 a.m. in the Cypress Park area on Thursday, July 4, ABC7 Eyewitness News reported. No cause of death has been announced, but an official cited in the report said it is likely not due to drowning.
A record-setting runner dogged by allegations of cheating was found dead in the Los Angeles River, reports said.
In March, Meza finished the L.A. Marathon with a time of 2:53:10, Runner’s World reported, which for his age would have been an incredible performance. It was over an hour faster than any other person in his age group.
This week, he was officially disqualified from the L.A. Marathon for allegedly cheating. more
There is evidence they guy got on a bicycle for part of the course.
At least he didn’t lick food in stores.
Couldn’t run, couldn’t swim.
“Is it safe?”
“Likely not due to drowning”. Well duh! Since this time of year there is only about 3” of water in the LA “River”.

The custom OTF switchblade {out the front}
strapped to Zell’s inner wrist.Way cool.
Not to change the subject (but I will) this could have been me the other day when I went river kayaking and got swept away in the rapids almost drowning while trying to hold onto my kayak and being dragged across boulders and rocks. I made it to shore barefoot, and climbed up an embankment with sharp rocks to the railroad tracks. I had to tear my shirt and wrap it around my feet in order to walk over the burning hot railroad ties over a mile in the 90 degree weather getting sunburned in the process. Loads of fun. (Fortunately my friend rescued my $1500 kayak.)
If God intended for us to kayak, HE wouldn’t have invented bridges… 🙄
Not due to drowning? Then the idiot must have taken a drink of LA “River” water. That’s an excellent way to kill yourself.
Was a smiley face painted on a nearby bridge support?
People who do these sorts of things are total cunts. They’re like those assholes who pretend to be war heroes. How the fuck could one get any satisfaction at all from accolades they knew to have acquired through lies, cheating, and falsehoods?
Personally, I’m glad this fucker is dead. What a total asshole.
These comments are hilarious.
Mule; When I worked for an UN Agency, those were about the only people I encountered. The world is full of egomaniacs who revel in praise, earned or not.
I’m pretty sure he died from typhus. He got bit by a flea and ended up in the river. The river where the homeless uses it for a bathroom.
Jim Fix was his God Father,,,
What did he expect?
