Ski accident. A day after Bob Parks died too. Crazy.

Source? Hopefully this is not true.
Very sad if true.
It is true. Word is spreading fast in Michigan.
Wow that's sad. When I first started running (2004) he decided to make a comeback for the trials so he ran and won a lot of the local 5Ks that I did.
We’ve heard from enough people to say unfortunately this is true.
Life is definitely precious everyone.
Our respects to Paul’s family and friends.
I heard from an EMU alum who knows him pretty well. Don't have any other details or link yet.

Nothing is on his Facebook except his friends death a few days ago and people keep saying a RIP to his friend, but nothing about him.

Nothing on his Facebook yet, only about Paul's death and people are posting just an hour ago.
Not saying it's true or not. But "hearing from enough people" does not make it a reportable news event; it's still rumor. In the case of a tragic death, the ethical thing to do is wait for confirmation from officials or from the family. So far, I've seen none.
With great sadness this is true. Spoken to his wife. Horrible and sad loss for his family and three children. Our EMU family and his close friends are crushed with his passing
damn--he was clutch in the big races back in the day....RIP
This is very sad. RIP to a great runner. What kind of skiing is a 49 year old doing that would result in death?
My Uncle used to hunt with Paul his Dad and his brother Phil. He was a very intense guy. This is so sad I can’t wrap my head around this. Prayers to his family. RIP
Wow this is crushing.
He was a great racer.
He was in my prelim in the 96 Trials and just ran away at the end.
In the finals there was a mad dash for the 2nd and 3rd spots. He had the win locked up.
It’s also crazy that my daughter went skiing for the first time tonight and I am right now waiting for her to come home, reading this news.
Oh man, that sucks. I know some people who are really upset today. I feel badly for them.
What a great runner he was.
The same kind that killed Sonny Bono.
The mind control he exerted over Steve Holman was legendary.
McMullen was a sight to behold coming down the homestretch at the Drake Relays.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
I think Letesenbet Gidey might be trying to break 14 this Saturday
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
