We are grateful to the medical personnel who acted to provide immediate care to the participant,” the statement added., this marks the third death in the marathon’s history, which began in 2002 with title sponsor Standard Chartered.
Previous fatalities include 22-year-old Malcolm Sng Wei Ren, who died in 2011 after completing the half marathon. A coroner’s report later attributed his death to acute coronary insufficiency caused by an undetected abnormal coronary artery. In 2016, 28-year-old John Gibson, a Briton living in Hong Kong, also died following a collapse 1km from the finish line. The coroner’s court concluded that he had died from sudden cardiac death caused by arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat.
