Young runner passed away

I feel sad to learn about this news just now. I want to express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Gary Leon Robert.

He was reported missing after the race. He was found dead in Stadium Shah Alam a day later.

He fainted after completing the 22km half-marathon and was attended by paramedics. Please see video here. He was last seen walking away from the stretcher on his own.

He was 22.

A lot of things and feelings came into my mind when I read the news. A lot of questions to ask and to put down to words.

For now, I just want to pray for him. Rest in peace, Gary.
