Running a marathon and completing it, is not everyone’s cup of tea. A consistent pace has to be maintained throughout a long run to complete a marathon. There have been a lot of examples in the books of history about people of every age group running a successful marathon.
However, body vitals are extremely necessary when a person is running a marathon. When a body is under any physical stress, there is a huge pump of blood in the cardiovascular system. Recently a tragic event took place, when a youngster lost his life during a marathon.

Things took a bad turn when an engineering student, Dinesh Kumar after completing the marathon experienced seizures. This was a complete shock to his friends and fellow marathoners as he immediately needed help.
He was rushed to the hospital as soon as possible where his condition only became worse. A heart attack ultimately took his life marking this marathon a very tragic event in the region.
While some question his sudden demise, medical experts suggest that his body was incapable to handle the physical stress. There is an advisory that every person who is participating in such highly rigorous physical events should undergo a medical examination to check his body vitals.
