A 36-year-old man has tragically died after taking part in the 2022 London Marathon.
He collapsed just three miles from the end of the 26.2 mile race and, although an ambulance arrived within three minutes, he sadly died later in hospital. The man was from southeast England but no further details on his identity have been released with his family asking for privacy.
Organisers said in a statement: "Everyone involved in the organisation of the London Marathon would like to express sincere condolences to his family and friends." The cause of death will be established later through a medical examination.
