Medical examiner: ‘Multiple injuries’ killed Va. Beach cyclist

July 27–VIRGINIA BEACH — When Jermaine Wilcox last spoke with his big brother Friday night, all Jeremy Wilcox could talk about was the biking trip he’d planned for the next day.
"He couldn’t wait to go on it," said Jermaine Wilcox, 18. "He was just talking about how fun they were."
The conversation was the last the two would have. Jeremy Wilcox, 21, passed out and fell off his bike while riding through Maryland’s Oxon Cove Park on Saturday morning. He struck his head on a tree and died at a nearby hospital, said Mark Brady, spokesman for the fire and Emergency Medical Services departments in Prince George’s County, Md.
The medical examiner’s office in Maryland said Monday that Wilcox died of "multiple injuries." But the heat might have played a role in him losing consciousness, Brady said. Temperatures were in the mid-90s Saturday, but humidity made it feel more like 100 degrees outside, he said. Medics at the scene said Wilcox exhibited signs of heat-related illness.
