During Southern California's triple-digit heat wave, a runner collapsed and died after completing a half marathon at Disneyland on Sunday.
A runner died over the weekend after competing in Disneyland's Halloween Half Marathon amid Southern California's triple-digit heat wave. Around 7 a.m. Sunday, the man crossed the finish line of the race clutching his chest. A volunteer caught him before he collapsed, according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter. 'Anaheim fire and rescue personnel were on scene immediately and started giving lifesaving measures and transported them to the hospital,' Sutter said.
Disney did not respond to The Times' questions about what precautionary measures were taken to prevent heat exhaustion during this weekend's Halloween Half Marathon. A day before the event, Graves went on TikTok to share his concerns about the heat wave with his followers. 'I was outside for like 20 minutes walking my dog,' Graves said as he filmed himself lying under a blanket and resting on a pillow. 'Ten minutes later after I came back in, I just passed out.
