World champion surfer Andy Irons has died - possibly of dengue fever - at the age of 32, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Irons - who won three world titles - was found dead Tuesday in a hotel room near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. He was there waiting to return home to Kauia, Hawaii after he was forced to drop out of a competition in Puerto Rico because he wasn't feeling well.
Irons reportedly had contracted dengue fever, a viral disease known to be transmitted by mosquitoes, according to surfing officials.
Nonetheless, an official cause of death has yet to be released.
Irons is survived by his wife, Lyndie Dupuis who is seven months pregnant with their first child. They would have celebrated their third anniversary on November 25.
