Pro Golfer Arie Irawan Found Dead In Hotel Room At 28

CHINA. (THECOUNT) — Malaysian golfer Arie Irawan was found in his hotel room. He was 28.

“Early indications” suggesting the death was due to natural causes. Irawan was competing at a tournament in China but missed the cut at the Sanya Championship. He reportedly remained on the island, according to a statement on the PGA Tour Series China’s website.

As recounted by the governing body, his roommate Kevin Techakanokboon — getting ready for the final round — noticed Irawan wasn’t moving in his bed Sunday and called another player for assistance.

Later, local emergency services arrived but after 45 minutes of trying to revive Irawan, he was pronounced dead, reports CNN.
