Mountain biker who died named

Mon, 2 Nov 2009
News: Dunedin

The 56-year-old Dunedin man who collapsed and died while cycling at
Lake Hawea on Friday was Dr David Peacock.

Dr Peacock, a graduate of the University of Otago, was a psychiatric
registrar with the Otago District Health Board.

A keen mountain biker, he was a former president of the Otago Tramping
and Mountaineering Club and a member of the Royal Dunedin Male Choir.

Last month, he sang in the Dunedin production of Gilbert and
Sullivan's opera Yeomen of the Guard.

He was responsible for his own death, or it was just his time. you should
hear the health horror stories of runner of who plenty die whilst running.

Based on what evidence?

Why not blame Gilbert and Sullivan too?
