    Olympic Games Gold Medalist Athlete. A fighter pilot in the United States Navy, he participated in the 1952 Summer Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland as part of the United States diving team. He won the gold medal for 3 metre springboard diving, defeating two members of the American diving team in the process. After being awarded the medal, he climbed up the pole that flew the Olympic flag and swiped it, an act that got him arrested by Finnish police and necessitated his being bailed out of jail by his team coaches. He died in March 1956 in a crash of his Navy jet fighter in Kansas, only weeks before he was to begin training for the 1956 Summer Olympic Games.
