A German coach has died after a horror high-speed road accident near the Olympic park last week.
Stefan Henze, a former Olympian and current German kayak women's team coach, died of head injuries, three days after the crash.
Henze, 35, was surrounded by his family, the German team said while announcing his death on Monday afternoon.
He had been left in a critical condition after a cardiac arrest following the crash.

The collision happened as he was returning to the Athletes' Village in a taxi in the early hours of Friday morning.

Henze, who won an Olympic canoeing silver medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics, is believed to have been returning from a night out with colleague Cristian Katini, sport scientist for the German canoe team, when the crash happened around 4.50 am.
In a statement, the taxi driver Artur de Almeida Campos, 26, claimed Katini had suddenly grabbed the wheel as he took a fork in the road on the main Avenida das Americas expressway and the car smashed head-on with a concrete barrier.
Katini and the taxi driver escaped with cuts and bruises, but Henze, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, hit his head in the collision and was 'seriously injured', according to a statement from the German Olympic contingent.

I have really enjoyed the overwhelming majority of the #StreamLife commentary. These Brits have been killing it.
