Saw this posted on another local forum. Seems kind of strange considering the cool temps today.



"Three men died this morning during the 32nd Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon, police and race officials have confirmed.


The first man to collapse was Daniel Langdon, 36, of Laingsburg, at about 9:02 a.m., said Rich Harshbarger, vice president of consumer marketing for the Detroit Media Partnership. Langdon was on Michigan Avenue, between the 11- and 12-mile markers.

Rick Brown, 65, of Marietta, Ohio, collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where Langdon went down.

And Jon Fenlon, 26, of Waterford collapsed at about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the half-marathon in 1:53:37. Fenlon, whose Facebook page says that he worked at the Warren-based advertising firm Campbell-Ewald and graduated from Eastern Michigan University, had made headlines before, when in 2006 he caught a homerun ball hit by Magglio Ordoñez that sealed the Tigers’ sweep of the Oakland A’s -- sending the team to the World Series, said friend Jenny Wroblewski.
