Make no mistake....this is a tragedy.
At least what I’m seeing in the comments shows that some of you are starting to connect the dots.
This is not a normal occurrence. And people have run in 90deg heat before.
Let’s start being intellectually honest and asking real questions.

That Nu Yacker air will kill anyone. Such a disgusting place.

"Hey Freddy! 1 dead 16 collapses at the mini-marathon you knew?/ "Just a minute. I'm on the phone with #VinnyVaxayvoo "

I'm sorry but 32 year old marathon runners don't just kill over with heart problems

[aurora-cchk]

these comments are so disgusting. instead of caring about the actual victim you guys are immediately converting everything to politics which has nothing to do with this. utterly despicable.

They should have air conditioning now! Or do they need more boosters? Yes, more boosters!

When does a marathon in November it's 40° a difference now why would you run when it's 90° outside?

Human body was not made to run for 13 miles straight. I still don't understand why we have these city sponsor marathons. This isn't the first death nor will be the last in these races. Not healthy and an inconvince. Go run in a park and not for 13 miles. that just dumb and serves no purpose.

U need to be in shape for running long distances. Just bc u r skinny doesn’t mean u r fit.

When I got out of MCRD San Diego boot camp I swore I'd never run just for exercise or rake stupid patterns in the sand, ever again.

This stuff unfortunately happens. In 2009, 3 people died of heart attacks in a Detroit half marathon. Pretty sure that wasn't pfizer. Quit spreading panic. Its exhausting and i think we've all had enough of it already.

Add them to the long list of vax injured.

[RichRoyal]

It definitely too hot to be running a marathon

[bakeembakeem]

You can not vape, smoke weed, do coke in these marathons, only when you're dresed to impress and on your way to the clubs,

I could never relate to this self-torture... but hey, whatever rocks your boat

[hectorsilva]

Well its has as hell and humid but people wanna run

[MekoBello]

As a runner, and a person who have run many marathons. If you push yourself more than your body can handle, your vital organs can fail. This guy probably pushed his body to the limit.
