Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree Dies After He Collapses During Arizona Marathon

These Things Happen

Pierre Lipton, a 26-year-old athlete and businessman who was featured on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list, passed away after collapsing at the Mesa Marathon earlier this month. 
Lipton, a Brown University graduate, was about to finish the marathon in 3 hours, 10 minutes, and 5 seconds, setting a personal best. 
After crossing the finish line, he suddenly collapsed near the paramedics, Boston.com reported. He was rushed to the hospital and was later pronounced dead. 
Though there is still no official cause of death, Lipton’s dad, Dr. Jordan Lipton told the Boston Globe, “the working diagnosis is he might have had some sudden electrolyte imbalance that caused arrhythmia”.
