Former Olympic cyclist Daniela Larreal Chirinos is dead after she choked on food in her Las Vegas apartment, reports Fox Sports and Spanish newspaper ABC. She was 50.

Police found the Venezuelan athlete deceased in her apartment on Friday, Aug. 16, after she was reported missing by her colleagues at a Las Vegas hotel when she failed to report to work on Monday, Aug. 12, a Fox Sports report translated from Spanish reads.

Although the Clark County Coroner’s Office told Fox News an official cause of death for Chirinosos is still pending, Fox Sports reported that police “concluded that the cause of death had been asphyxiation caused by solid food remains found in her trachea.”

PEOPLE reached out to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County Coroner’s Office for comment on Chirinos’ death.

The Venezuela Olympic Committee posted a tribute to Chirinosos on X (formerly Twitter) on Aug. 16.

“The COV Board of Directors regrets the departure of Daniela Larreal,” a translation of the statement read. “With an outstanding career in track cycling, he managed to represent us with honour in five Olympic Games, accumulate four Olympic diplomas and triumphs that always filled us with great pride.”
