Kenneth Sitzberger

After 4 years of Chicago Catholic League Champion at Fenwick High School, competing in the 3 m springboard he won a bronze medal at the 1963 Pan American Games and a gold at the 1964 Olympics.[1] As a student at Indiana University, Sitzberger won the AAU national indoor 1-meter and 3-meter springboard championships in 1964 and 1965.His wife said that he had fallen and hit his head on a table during a New Year's Eve party, and his death was ruled an accident.Police said Sitzberger twice picked fights with another man at the party, and in the second scuffle he struck his head.Because Sitzberger had been subpoenaed as a federal witness in a cocaine-trafficking case, police investigated his death further, but discovered no evidence of foul play.
