A 42-year-old man has died after running the London Marathon.
The unnamed man collapsed after crossing the finishing line and received medical attention.
But he was pronounced dead when he arrived at hospital.
In a statement, the event's organisers, Virgin Money, expressed their "sincere condolences" to his family.
"We will not be releasing any further details of this tragic incident and would ask for your understanding in this matter," it said.
"We would like to emphasise that our immediate concern is for the family of the deceased.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with them at this difficult time."
It was the first death at the event since 30-year-old hairdresser Claire Squires collapsed just a mile from the finishing line in 2012 before dying of cardiac failure.
She had been raising money for the Samaritans and donations to the charity soared to more than £1m in the weeks after her death.
A total of 36,000 competitors took part in the 26.2 mile event, which started at Blackheath and Greenwich parks and ended on The Mall.
Runners were advised to take on plenty of water as bright sunshine and light breeze meant conditions were warm, reaching 16C in St James's Park.
The men's race was won by Kenyan Wilson Kipsang, while compatriot Edna Kiplagat finished first in the women's event.
