Story summary

Rachel Apa, a 24-year-old runner from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, died on Sunday after collapsing about two miles short of the finish line during the New York City Marathon. She had been running her first marathon as part of the Parkinson’s Champions team to honor her late grandfather who battled Parkinson's disease before his death in 2022. Apa was training for months and was described by her father, Steve Apa, as being in "perfect health" and "perfect shape." According to her father, Rachel texted him from mile 19 saying “Ow ow” and collapsed at mile 24. A bystander administered CPR, and event medical staff also performed CPR and used a defibrillator but were unable to revive her. Her death is attributed to rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition linked to intense physical exercise where muscle cells break down and release toxic components into the bloodstream.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
