- Chess player dies during Olympics match (15 Aug 14)
Police and medics were called to one of city's top hotels after the deceased was found alone in a hotel room at 10.30pm.
The male victim is the second chess participant to die on the same day, after a 67-year-old man collapsed and died in the main play arena while playing his match yesterday.
The second dead man was found in the Radisson Blu hotel in Tromsø on Thursday evening, a reporter from iTromso confirmed to The Local.
Police chief Gunnar Baardsen said to NTB: "There is no suspicion about anything criminal going on. This is a natural death."
