Daniel Langdon, 36, collapsed at 9.02am local time, between the 11- and 12-mile markers. Rick Brown, 65, fell in the same area at 9.17am, and a minute later 26-year-old Jon Fenlon collapsed just after finishing the half-marathon. Race organisers said emergency personnel reached the men quickly, while weather conditions were cool and well-suited to running. Fatalities among marathon runners are comparatively rare, with a risk of approximately one in 100,000. Over 19,000 took part in the Detroit marathon and half marathon. "On a day when so many people bring such energy and challenge themselves to do their utmost, this news is very difficult to hear," said Paul Anger, editor of the Detroit Free Press which sponsors the event.[/quote]

This seems a little too coincidental.
It sounds weird. I think I read about this yesterday.
Wow pretty weird =/ were they in shape?
How? Same cause or what?
It's Detroit. They probably weren't used to breathing in all the fumes in the air there.

Death Note? o_o. Wow That Is Really Weird..
they were attacked by ninjas
Those are some slim chances, must suck for their families. I could understand the 65-year old, but those other guys were pretty young.

A guy I knew almost collapsed on Sunday during a marathon. The medics had to escort him out of the race. It was a shame, considering he was about 30 seconds behind the top runner.
The grim reaper must have been very busy
