Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York City Marathon officials say a 41-year-old man who collapsed during the race has died.

Race organizer New York Road Runners says the man died Thursday in a New York City hospital. The group did not identify him.

This is the third death connected to the Nov. 2 marathon.

A 58-year-old Brazilian man died of a heart attack shortly after crossing the finish line. Another man died several hours later.
