I guess all of Chicago ran out of water yesterday. It looks as though the officer, husband and father had a pre-existing condition that never stopped him before. Hm? It would seem he passed any police physicals. He just doesn't seem to 'fit the profile' of a poorly conditioned athlete regardless of any heart issue. To believe his death is totally unrelated to the heat when 302 runners were hospitalized and the race stopped half way through is unrealistic and reeks of propaganda !
...A 12-year veteran of the Midland, Michigan, police department, Schieber was named its 2006 Officer of the Year. He was a mountain biking instructor for the department and was involved in establishing a law enforcement memorial at the department's headquarters last year, said Bob Lane, Midland Police deputy chief.
``He was just a very-well liked, very-well respected officer,'' Lane, 48, said in a telephone interview. ``He was in excellent shape. It took me totally by shock, to say the least.''
A father of three children, Schieber was running the race with his wife, Sarah, Lane said. At least 302 runners were hospitalized with heat-related ailments, according to the Chicago Tribune.
