"As far as the family knows, was he sick, did he have a medical condition?"
Shanique Neal- Brigel Teck's Niece
"No, he have no major sicknesses. He has always been vibrant determined, energetic, he has always been playing sports. Until now, he was in a league. He was to play the night and the morning we heard he died. He was to play his game the night but unfortunately this happened. He was always going around and everything. He was the defense for his team, he won first place and like that. So, he has never been sick. We have never heard he had a heart problem. So, it was shocking for everybody."
Reporter
"Has he applied to the Coast Guard before this occasion?"
Shanique Neal
"Yes he had but I cannot tell you what exactly happened then but for the first one we heard that he had gotten weak and then they took him aside. Apart from that I don't know because I had moved and then the information was not clear. But he went back and this is what happened."
Teck was the father of two.
