I was watching my fiance run and someone died literally right in front of me at the Brooklyn half-marathon in the fall (he was a young guy - I'd say late 20s). He collapsed right at the finish line and they couldn't revive him. The crazy thing is there was no mention of it after the race or anywhere, I tried googling to find out more info. but nothing. The only info. I found was on /r/running people where people who were also in attendance were talking about it. Marathons just seem so unnatural to me.
