resident Barack Obama offered
his condolences Tuesday to the
family of tech executive David
Goldberg, the husband of Facebook's
chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg,
who died after falling on a treadmill and
striking his head at an upscale resort in
Mexico.
Obama remembered Goldberg as what
he called a leader who always tried to
empower others.
"He was generous and kind with every-
body, and cared less about the limelight
than making sure that the people he
worked with and loved succeeded in
whatever they did," Obama wrote on
Facebook.
"His skills as an entrepreneur cre-
ated opportunity for many; his love for
his family was a joy to behold, and his
example as a husband and father was
something we could all learn from. We're
heartbroken by him leaving us far too
soon — but we celebrate a remarkable

"You came to the house...you
listened and cared. You spared me
some unpleasant and sad tasks.

I thank you from the bottom of my
heart. We are so lucky to have you
in the Jewish community."

legacy," the president wrote.
Goldberg, 47, was the chief
executive of online polling
firm SurveyMonkey and
husband of Facebook's Sheryl
Sandberg. He died suddenly
Friday, according to his
brother, who did not give a
cause of death.
Mexican officials on
Monday confirmed he died
in hospital after a workout accident dur-
ing a family trip to a Pacific coast resort
in Punta Mita, in Nayarit state.
"His relatives have indicated that he
went to work out, and that they became
concerned when he did not come back,"
an official at the state prosecutor's office
said.
"They went looking for him and found
him in a pool of blood next to a tread-
mill, apparently after he fell and struck
his head at the hotel gym," the official
said, declining to be named.
Goldberg sustained "severe head
trauma and hemorrhaging," and died at

a medical center in Nuevo Vallarta, the
official added.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark
Zuckerberg said that Goldberg was "an
amazing person."
"I am glad I got to know him My
thoughts and prayers are with Sheryl and
her family," Zuckerberg wrote in a post-
ing.
Aside from her work at tech firms,
Sandberg is the author of Lean In, a best-
selling memoir presented as a modern
feminist manifesto that urges women to
work to succeed in juggling their careers
and family life.
