Rachel Apa, 24, dies after collapsing near the finish of the New York City Marathon

Rachel Apa, a 24-year-old woman, died on Sunday after collapsing during the New York City Marathon in Central Park, about two miles from the finish, her father said. Apa, from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, was running her first marathon for the Parkinson's Champions team in honor of her late grandfather. A member of the public gave her CPR, race medical staff used a defibrillator, and she was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where doctors could not save her; she was pronounced dead at 9:40 p.m. Her father told the New York Times that she died of rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition in which muscles break down, often after heavy exercise. The New York Road Runners said they were deeply saddened by the death of one of their runners.

Right-leaning outlets differ in approach. The Daily Mail leads with the father's revelation of the cause, describing his disbelief and explaining that the condition affects about 0.0076 percent of the US population each year; it adds that a hospital social worker could not find a pulse and gives an approximate collapse time of 1:30 p.m. The Washington Times runs a plainer report, headlined on the collapse and death without the cause. Left-leaning The Guardian leads with the father's account of his daughter's texts to him, which grew more distressed before she appeared to rally, and with the Parkinson's tribute, and it includes the race organizer's statement. It does not include the pulse detail or the population statistic. Alternative Yahoo Sports also leads with the texts but places the collapse five miles from the finish, a distance the others do not give. All sides agree on the death, the cause and the location; they differ in emphasis, with the right focusing on the medical explanation and the left on the personal texts and charity link.
