NEW YORK Police say 58-year-old Sao Paulo resident Carlos Jose Gomes just
passed the finish line Sunday afternoon in a time of 4 hours 12
minutes when he complained about feeling ill. He was taken by
ambulance to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he died. An autopsy was
being conducted Monday.
Richard Finn, a spokesman for the New York Road Runners, says
the other man died several hours later. He did not give out any
additional information. A call to the city medical examiner's
office was not immediately returned.
At least two other runners became ill during the race and had to
be hospitalized.
