Only 24 yo and just set Marathon record in Chicago.

Died in a car crash in Kenya.

So sad. Pre was 24 when he was killed in a car crash. Maybe

is more focus on Kelvin Kiptum's mourning. There was a survivor in the car and she's seems to indicate reckless driving (much like Pre-but Pre was alone). If there was foul play, the only motive I can think of could be gambling but that's my speculation. I am always colored by what happened in Columbia to Escobar who had the own goal in their Rose Bowl loss, a match I watched in person in 1994.

If there was real foul play somehtign should have come out by now. It seems the father is just so distraught losing his only child and who could blame him.
