Md. Man Recovering After His Body Gives Out During Triathlon

A Maryland man is recovering at Shock Trauma after his body gives out during a triathlon on the Eastern Shore. A heat stroke caused his organs to fail, requiring an emergency transplant.

Jessica Kartalija explains his family and friends are asking for your help.

Doug Wetzel, 32, is quite the athlete. He was nearing the end of his first ever triathlon when something went terribly wrong.

“He was a mile and a half from the end, he was running the last leg of the triathlon, and he realized he was in trouble. So he actually veered off course and went to find help,” his best friend, Craig Nickel, said.

  3. 3:25- Seriously? You would turn your back and walk away from another human dying? Says a lot about you. It is terrible that people are actually active and get outdoors isn't it! Hope the first responders don't help you when they find you laying on your couch with your hand in a bag of chips. Douche!
