A runner who collapsed at the Brighton marathon died from a reaction to sports supplements and ibuprofen, a coroner has ruled.
Sam Harper Brighouse, 23, collapsed on Grand Avenue, in Hove, 16 miles (26km) into the race on 14 April.
Coroner Veronica Hamilton-Deeley ruled he died of bowel ischemia and a gastro-intestinal haemorrhage.
She said this was brought about by a reaction to sports gels, ibuprofen, dehydration and endurance exertion.

I only ever drink water, and (nowadays!) have a few jelly babies.
