Five-Time Olympian Daniela Larreal Chirinos Dies After Choking Incident

The Venezuelan cyclist was found dead in her Las Vegas apartment days after being reported missing.

Larreal competed in five Olympic Games from 1992 to 2012, representing Venezuela in speed cycling.
She was discovered by police after failing to show up for work at a Las Vegas hotel.
Initial reports indicate she died from asphyxiation caused by food blocking her windpipe.
Larreal was an outspoken critic of Venezuelan politics, leading to her exile in the U.S.
She won multiple medals in regional competitions, including the Pan American and Central American Games.
