A Runner Passed Away at Adidas KOTR


I just found out from friend's facebook comments that a guy passed away at the Adidas King Of the Road event. Cause of death was believed to be heart attack. A video of him passing out at the finishing line & attended by paramedic was captured: Video

The sad news that we received was that the body found under the basement of the Shah Alam Stadium today. mStar
His name is Gary Leon Robert, a Uniten student. And he was only 15 days shy of his 22nd birthday. May he Rest in Peace.

I feel very sad when the bad news came out. Saw in one of the blogs earlier on Monday that he was still missing -didnt think that a young man like him can die so suddenly from a run.....actually, anything can happen...
