Mark Nageotte cause of death: What happened to Katie Nageotte father?

Mark Nageotte and Diana Nageotte are the parents of the star.

Nageotte, who lost her father to a heart attack when she was 16 years old, had cardiac testing and gained medical clearance before returning to training.

Nageotte not only qualified for the Tokyo Olympics but did it in a record-breaking manner with a leap of 16 feet, 2 3/4 inches, an Olympic trial record. This laid the groundwork for her gold-medal victory.

Despite her issues with motivation, Nageotte recently set a personal best from a shorter distance at the 2022 National Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nevada, clearing a height of 15-feet-1-inch using a revised strategy in which she doesn’t jump as high as she used to.
