SINGAPORE: A participant of the SAFRA Sheares Bridge Run & Army Half Marathon collapsed and died on Sunday morning.
25-year-old Captain Ho Si Qiu collapsed at 7am at the end of his 21-kilometre run.
Medics attended to him within 30 seconds.
At the medical post, an intubation was performed and when no heart rhythm was shown, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was immediately carried out.
He failed to respond and was sent to the hospital some 20 minutes later.
The cause of his death is being investigated.
Organisers of the run have extended their deepest condolences to the family of Captain Ho.
Organisers said proper safety measures were in place, with 13 medic points set up and over 100 medical personnel deployed.
Sixteen ambulances, each equipped with defibrillators, were also present.
Some 70,000 people took part in the run this year, 5,000 more than last year.

RIP, sir
it's impossible to know your own body through and through... things just happen... maybe it's fate. maybe it's not. -
Sigh, i hope everyone (not only SAF) will really look into the cause of these deaths and the way to prevent it.
Could it be our diet?
or simply people pushing their limits? -
one question...
how come it's always officers...?
how come we dun hear as much specialists dying...?
or is it because it's not reported in the papers...? -
If they don't push themselves to go to the finish line, will some gungho 2LT start flooding people's mailbox with emails to complain that the officer's performance was not up to par? Captains will feel very pai seh and embarassed if some 2LT below them start to send out emails to complain that their performance was not up to par? Could this be their worry?Originally posted by Ponders:Sigh, i hope everyone (not only SAF) will really look into the cause of these deaths and the way to prevent it.

i was there as part of the organizers of AHM... 41SAR
the medical platoon came from us, and my medic friend was there to pull him out. the senior medic from kranji mc performed the CPR but sadly, he wasn't revived.
i was told he went unconscious suddenly and fell.
it's so sad, i watched every single one of the OCS people walk past me to form up at the start line, i never thought that one of those unknown faces would die today... -
