death at the robin hood marathon ?

[alger_la_blanche]

Hi everybody,

Just heard that a guy passed out yesterday at the robin hood marathon in nottingham (UK), that's really sad.

Does anyone of you have any kind of experience in this field of sport ? what can be the cause of the death scientifically ?
For your information the temperature was between 24 and 28 celcius.

I will really appreciate any of your comments

Have a good week

Hi ALB
As I have always learned that Sport are good for health manly Marathon, I still beleive that soccer is the best sport as you dont need any drogue to shoot a ball ,
you know water is also necessary for live but you know how many people died because of bad swiming....anyway I found some expert analyse about "Pathology of Sudden Death in exercise"

While a large number of cardiac conditions have been associated with sudden death during exercise, the most common cause of death in Westernized communities is coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease is the major cause of death in persons aged 40 or older.
