Authorities say two men who collapsed during a half-marathon in Detroit this fall died because of heart problems.
The Wayne County medical examiner’s office on Monday listed cardiac dysrhythmia as the cause of death for both 36-year-old Daniel Langdon and 26-year-old Jonathan Fenlon. That means they had an irregular or abnormal heart rate.
Langdon, of Laingsburg, Mich., and Fenlon, of Waterford, Mich., were two of three runners who died while participating in the Oct. 18 Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon.
Fenlon died after crossing the finish line. Langdon collapsed near the finish line of the 13.1-mile race, as did 65-year-old Rick Brown of Marietta, Ohio. An earlier autopsy found that Brown suffered from heart disease.
