People do die from heat in a marathon.
Ideal temps to run halfs and fulls are around 40 degrees.
Temps in Brooklyn today were near 90.
Organizers should have seriously considered canceling the event.
That's why you almost never have long races like this scheduled in the summer in the South. Just too dangerous for heat stoke, etc. potential.

They die from the death jab, too.

Heat illness with no preexisting condition is very survivable when it’s caught and treated early. Races like this have every treatment possible for heat illness and medical professionals who can identify and treat people for heat. There would be cool water immersion tubs and IV fluids located at the end of the race, for example.
Interested to hear what they ultimately determine to be the cause of death. Chances are, it’s something confounding other than heat stroke.

The race was ran early though, so while it did hit 90 during the day, it was not 90 when the runner died.
From the NY post article:
quote:
The temperature at 9 a.m. at Coney Island was already 70 degrees with 83% humidity, according to Fox Weather.
Still pretty hot for this time of year in that part of the country, but it had not hit 90 yet when this occurred.
