LONDON--A man who died after collapsing at the finish line of the London Marathon has been named as 42-year-old Robert Berry.
Organizer Virgin Money said he was taken to one of its medical facilities where he was treated by four consultants, including one specializing in emergency medicine.
Mr Berry, from Newbury in Berkshire, was pronounced dead after being transferred to St Mary's Hospital.
About 36,000 people took part in the event on Sunday.
A statement from the organizer said: "It is with regret that we can now confirm that Mr. Robert Berry, aged 42, collapsed at the finish of the London Marathon.
"The organizers of the Virgin Money London Marathon would like to continue to express their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Berry and our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with them all at this difficult time."
His death comes two years after Claire Squires, 30, from North Kilworth, Leicestershire, collapsed and died from cardiac failure on the final stretch of the 26.2-mile course.
Sunday's event was the 34th London Marathon.
