Kalani David Cause of Death

Hawaiian surfer, Kalani David has died. He died on September 17 while surfing in Costa Rica. He was 24 years old.

The 24-year-old had a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and passed away after a seizure in the water.

Kalani David’s battle with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was a long one. In August 2016, he had a seizure while skating at a park in Oceanside, California. His condition worsened after that, and just before Christmas of the same year, he suffered a six-hour seizure that nearly took his life while at home on Oahu.

At 14 years old, Kalani was a skating prodigy, finding himself ranked above Bob Burnquist and BeckyLasek on the Dew Tour’s Bowl series.
