Three Runners Die in Detroit Free Press Marathon

In the span of just 16 minutes, three men collapsed and died while running the 32nd Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon -- -freep.com

MY COMMENT: What are the odds of this terrible tragedy? Temperatures were cool so I assume all were heart related.
