A 28-year-old man reportedly died from his injuries this week after being struck by lightning while participating in a golf tournament in New Jersey.

Simon John Mariani — a resident of suburban Franklin Lakes in New Jersey — was struck while playing the 15th hole at the Ballyowen Golf Course on July 8. He died “unexpectedly” on Monday, the New York Post reported, citing an online obituary.

“Outside of his professional life, Simon embraced all things family and enjoyed painting, photography and baking,” as noted in the obituary. “He also loved the outdoors, including the beach, boating, fishing, hiking, golfing and skiing.”

Mariani is survived by his parents and his two sisters.

The news follows several other recent reports of deaths caused by lightning strikes. 

Olympic medalist Audun Groenvold died after being struck by lightning this past Saturday.

Last month, Spencer Loalbo, a father of three in Texas, died after a lightning strike hit him while he was golfing.
