To my understanding, the family called police before the race was completed, because they were concerned that he had apparently not yet finished. The way the news reports have been worded makes it sound like the race organizers were derelict in their duties, but my understanding is that the additional fire and police personnel were deployed while the final racers were finishing.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/272774?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 May 2018 09:35:12 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:eff825be-d51f-481a-ad54-c1987baab462flystormsUgh this is heart wrenching to hear.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
