An athlete who was in training for an Ironman race has died while taking part in a triathlon in Texas.
Collin Campbell, 27, was swimming in Lake Livingston, about 80 miles north of Houston, during the Onalaska Half Distance Triathlon on Sunday morning. Investigators say the experienced athlete, who has competed in several similar events in the past, disappeared about half-way through the 1.2 mile open water swim about 8:30am.

Members of the Texas Game Warden dive team recovered Campbell's body hours later at 5pm.
'We used side scan sonar and were able to get pretty good image of the victim and we called the dive team and they utilized their sonar as well,' Game Warden Brandon Thacker told ABC 13 of how they found the 27-year-old.
