People constantly die in marathons, playing sports, driving cars, but its considered less of a news worthy subject. Now that everyone is recording everything, it may SEEM like it is happening much more often.
Those sports also put you at your normal cardiac limits already.

I’ve only done half-marathons (13mi) back in my distance running days, but I would give them everything I had, including drinking 1.5 scoops of pre-workout right before, the equivalent of ~450mg caffeine, in order to maintain a 7:30ish min/mi pace to try to place top 10% overall
I remember after this photo was taken I went to a smelly, shitty port-o-potty and just sat there and laid my head on the wall for 30 minutes because I felt like I was going to black out, while my family looked all over for me at the finish line. All I could do is focus on staying conscious and breathing
So I agree that people accidentally kill themselves pushing it, but I believe the rates of athletes keeling over are weirdly high. Maybe it’s not the vaccine, but something environmental seems to be fucking with people’s hearts
