Coi was gay, although he did not come out even to his own family until being diagnosed with HIV.[1] He died of AIDS in 1987,[2] amid a spate of AIDS-related deaths of Canadian figure skaters, including Brian Pockar, Robert McCall and Shaun McGill, which was portrayed in the media as a major crisis for the sport.[3]
