At mile 5 Shay had a heart attack and before the ambulance arrived he died. Please keep him and his family in yours thoughts and/ or prayers.
That is the report for marathonguide.com. It is the reason for the ambulance into the middle of the runners.
I am still looking for more information.
I read that as well on the Running Times` wrap-up of their live coverage. Unreal. I hope to God it's not true. "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. . ."
