4. Marathoner dies after nearly finishing

5. A firefighter from Greensboro - William Caviness was a runner for Chicago Marathon on last Sunday who will be remembered in this day. It was his last day in this year of 2011 to make efforts and support victims of fire fighter association for Greensboro Department as he was reaching for. In 500 yards from finish line near Roosevelt Road and Indiana Avenue, Caviness collapsed and he died in about two hours later. Some authorities suspect that William C. has suffered cardiac arrest but the death was pending autopsy results. No body knew it would be the last day in his life to run for Marathon and be seen by his two children under five years old.

6. This is a sad story for anyone who read it in Chicago newspapers or others. I am glad i read this part of the article and posted here. It will remind me of my best friend who loves to play sport that much and you never know what can happen to your heart at any minute. But about the article i think that man was working really hard and needed a time out and drink some water. For people who have problems with a heart i wouldn't suggest to run that much as Marathoners do. A little run for 20 minutes everyday would be enough and check up to the doctor for a medical overview of whole body is a big plus. Tragic story anyways, the man was tremendous runner and will stay like it in each heart who knew him or not.
