ST. GEORGE – Of more than 7,000 runners who crossed the finish line of the St. George Marathon on Saturday, a 22-year-old man from Idaho failed.
St. George City Communications Director David Cordero told St. George News the man, who was later identified as Hayden Holman, of Sugar City, Idaho, collapsed near Main Street and 100 South, in St. George.
“One of our officers started CPR on the man,” Tiffany Mitchell, St. George Police Department public information officer, told St. George News. “But this officer has been replaced by medical personnel.”
Mitchell added that the St. George Police Department had no involvement in the incident beyond that, so she could not comment further.
The Gold Cross ambulance transported Holman to St. George’s Regional Hospital, where he later died, Cordero said. Cordero added that the mayor of the city of St. George, Michele Randall, visited the man’s family to offer his condolences.
The East Idaho News reported that Hayden was a strong, athletic man who wrestled in high school and enjoyed rock climbing and marathon running. He grew up in Idaho Falls and attended Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg.
He had recently served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Montreal, Canada, and married his beloved Charlotte only seven months ago.
Hayden’s cause of death is unknown and an autopsy will be scheduled to determine the cause of death.
“On behalf of the Town of St. George and our Marathon staff,” Cordero said in a statement, “we send our deepest condolences to those who are close to him mourning his loss.”
