  Waterloo diver dies at weekend party Police haven't released cause of death by Greg Mercer Waterloo Region Record KITCHENER - CJ Moore, once one of Canada's top young divers, was hoping to get his career back on track and still holding onto the dream of one day competing in the Olympics. On Sunday, the 24-year-old, nationally-ranked diver's life was cut short when he died during a private music festival on a rural property outside Port Burwell. Police are still investigating Moore's death, which came at the end of a weekend-long celebration of electronic music and art that brought hundreds to Otter River Farms on McQuiggan Line. The event, called Playground 2018, had drawn police throughout the weekend for noise complaints, a combative, disoriented man, and finally a death investigation. The property's owner, Doug Dennis, said he believed Moore and a female friend took an inflatable raft down the river when something went wrong. Police are waiting on the results of an autopsy, but are treating the death as non-suspicious. Moore was studying biomedical engineering at the University of Waterloo, and was expected to graduate in 2019. He was a four-time provincial synchronized diving champion, competed internationally and at the Canada Games, and narrowly missed out on a berth for the Rio Olympics...... Mercer, G. (2018).
