Nicholas Lawrence "Nick" Mevoli III (August 22, 1981 – November 17, 2013)[2] was an American freediver who died attempting to break the world record of becoming the first American to surpass the 100m mark. On 17 November 2013, when he reached 73m without fins or breathing gear, he came up to the surface. He signalled that he was fine, but blood began pouring from his mouth. A few hours later, he was pronounced dead.
