A woman suffered a heart attack at the finish line of a Los Angeles Marathon and later died at hospital.
Trisha Paddock, a married mother of three from Rancho Palos Verdes, California was running in the Charity Challenge Half Marathon on Sunday.Â
Paddock participated in the race to raise money for the Asian American Drug Abuse Program.
“This is a devastating loss, and our deepest sympathies go out to her family and loved ones,” organizers said. “We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all the first responders, paramedics and medical personnel who were immediately on the scene.”
Organizers said that a Go Fund Me is set up to support the family with medical bills and other expenses.

Just after noon on Sunday, firefighters said they “came in contact with a 44-year-old female race participant near the finish line suffering a medical complaint that escalated to a witnessed cardiac arrest,” according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Paddock was listed as 46 years of age on the marathon’s website.
Medical assistance was provided by more than a dozen people before Paddock was transported to a local hospital.Â
“If you ask a hundred people what kind of person Trisha was, I’m going to say 100/100 would say Trisha was kind,” Trisha’s husband Ryan Paddock told FOX11.
