Edward Yatsun was working out in the pool at the gym, doing laps, when a heart attack caused him to go under. He was hauled out by lifeguards and doctors arrived quickly on the scene but they could not resuscitate him. Edward, 45, had played in Mikhail Pletnev’s orchestra for 19 years. He leaves a wife and small children.
