Jeremy Nobis, former Olympic skier, was found dead in a prison cell.
The 52-year-old athlete once competed in the giant slalom event at the 1994 Winter Olympics for Team USA, finishing ninth.
But officials said Nobis was found unresponsive inside his cell in Cedar City, Utah.
A statement from the Iron/Garfield/Beaver Critical Incident Task Force said: “Life-saving efforts were attempted by Iron County Jail staff.”
“Although no foul play is suspected, this incident is being investigated by the Critical Incident Task Force.”
Nobis was waiting for sentencing after being found to have driven under the influence at the time of his death.
He was reportedly convicted of DUI on March 7, with his sentencing hearing scheduled for April 25.
He had a total of four DUI felonies on his record, and made headlines in 2006 when he delivered a police pursuit that resulted in him crashing into a tree.
An arrest warrant was also issued after Nobis had failed to appear in court following a 2019 crash while intoxicated.
