One runner in the Brooklyn Half Marathon died and another five were hospitalized Saturday amid temperatures that were expected to hit 90 degrees in New York City.
The New York Times' Matthew Haag reported a 30-year-old man collapsed near the finish line of the 13.1-mile race. He was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.
A spokesperson for the New York City Fire Department said it's unclear whether the runner's death is connected to the hot temperatures in the city.
