A man has died after collapsing at the finish line of the Royal Parks Half Marathon over the weekend.

Kory Russell was one of around 16,000 runners taking part in the iconic half-marathon race on Sunday when he suddenly collapsed in Hyde Park, London.

The man, whose age has not been revealed, received specialist medical treatment at the scene, the event organisers said.

He was then taken to the hospital by ambulance, where he later died. Mr Russell is thought to have worked as an officer with the US-based State Street Investment Management in London.

A spokesperson for the firm said: ‘Kory Russell was a highly valued and respected member of the State Street team.

‘We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends as they grieve their loss.’
