Staff members at the Center Court Condominiums in Scottsdale called 911 about 7:30am Monday after seeing a man at the bottom of the pool. City firefighters say Torrence was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are investigating the death, but say there are no obvious signs of foul play. The cause of death will be determined by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office. Torrence was born in Japan but raised in California and ran track at Cal-Berkeley.
