Dave Goldberg Died from a Fatal Head Injury at Mexican Resort Gym

Dave Goldberg, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's husband, died after he suffered a head injury during a gym session.

According to The New York Times, Mr. Goldberg was on a family vacation at a private resort in Mexico. He had left his room at around 4 p.m. last Friday and was found by his brother Robert at 7 p.m. in a pool blood at the gym. He was immediately rushed to a hospital where he later died. Spokesperson for the prosecutor's office in Nayarit State in Mexico reportedly said that he may have fallen off the treadmill and cracked his head.

News of his death was shared by his brother Robert Goldberg through a Facebook post. However the family did not offer any details of the sudden demise, which led to speculation over the death.

A private memorial and funeral has been scheduled for Mr. Goldberg on Tuesday at the Stanford Memorial Auditorium, for which invitations have been sent. Men planning to attend were requested to not wear ties given Mr. Goldberg's distaste for ties.

Mr. Goldberg was the chief executive of SurveyMonkey which he joined in 2009 after working at Yahoo. The company has not yet named a successor.
