Come on AI, even in the case in point the race organisers negligence couldn't be pinned down as the actual cause of death. A runner falls over off line and bangs his head and unfortunately dies. Yes better organisation might have alerted a search a bit earlier which might perhaps have saved the day but, either way, it was a slip and fall coupled with bad weather that directly caused the death.
