Just two miles short of the finish line of the 2026 New York City Marathon on Nov. 1, 24-year-old runner Rachel Apa collapsed. She died of a rare and potentially life-threatening illness that can be brought on by excessive exertion, the New York Times reported.
It's called rhabdomyolysis, and while there are relatively few cases nationwide each year, it can strike during endurance or intensive exercise, including marathons.
Apa was running her first marathon to raise money for Parkinson's disease in honor of her late grandfather, according to the New York Times. But Apa was no stranger to athletics, having played Division I field hockey in college. Her family said Apa had been in "perfect health." Plus, she'd been training for the race for months.
But at mile 18, Apa texted her father, Steve, who'd been checking in at each mile: "Ow." At the end of the next mile, she wrote, "Ow ow." She stopped responding after that. Apa's mother, Michelle, was at the race and had watched her daughter run by earlier on. Her parents noticed on the marathon tracking app that Apa stopped moving after mile 24.
Apa collapsed just after running past hospital social worker Michaela Nichols, who was cheering on participants. Nichols ran over and checked Apa's pulse, but couldn't find one. Three other people — two of whom said they were physicians — ran over to give Apa CPR. Marathon medical staff tried to revive her with a defibrillator before an ambulance arrived. She was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center and treated for six hours, but could not be saved.

Three academy players scored their first goals for Athletic Club's senior side inside four minutes as Edin Terzić's team beat Prat 6-1 in the Copa del Rey. The late burst came from substitutes in a side rotated with the Basque derby in mind.
On Thursday 29 October, Athletic met Prat in the Copa del Rey round of 128. The tie was played at the Estadi La Feixa Llarga in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Its closing stages belonged to Athletic's academy.
Each of the late scorers had come off the bench. Selton Sánchez finished the night with the sixth goal, teed up by Vizcay, whose own strike had started the flurry.
Aritz Conde earned an 8.2 rating from the data provider for his half-hour on the pitch. Imga, aged just 17, had made his first-team debut alongside Vizcay against Getafe the previous Sunday.
EFE reported that Athletic picked a starting XI shaped by the coming Basque derby, giving chances to players such as Yohaneko, Sannadi and Nico Serrano. Those changes did not slow the visitors.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (chest) had eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 113 yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: In something straight out of a WWE show, Watson left Lambeau Field in an ambulance on Thursday night to get examined for a chest injury. He was cleared to return, however, and ended up being drive back from the hospital to make what was essentially a game-sealing catch on Green Bay's final drive of the night. Despite missing a significant chunk of the game, Watson still led all players in receptions (8) and receiving yards (113), though he did finish without a touchdown for a third straight game. Despite the scoring drought, Watson has earned a spot as a low-end WR1.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson took an ambulance ride to a local hospital after suffering an injury during Thursday night's win over the Carolina Panthers, but precautionary testing on Watson's chest came back with good news, so he rode the ambulance back to Lambeau Field and finished the game without complication.
Watson explained the wild sequence, which started with him landing hard on the football at the end of his 53-yard catch in the second quarter and ended with Watson returning in the same ambulance he took to the hospital, running back onto the field to the roar of the crowd and catching two passes after being cleared to return from the frightening injury.
From Watson in the post-game locker room: "I think I just came down on the ball, or my elbow or something. I couldn't breathe on the field, got the wind knocked out of me. Got back to the sideline and was spitting up blood, so the doctor said I had to go get a CT. I was begging him to not make me do that, but it is what it is. Everything looked good, just got a rib, that's all, all the major stuff was all good, no internal bleeding or anything like that, so I was able to get back out there."
Watson said he has a broken rib. He wore extra padding and a molding around his ribs to protect the injury when he returned.
On the Prime Video broadcast, Watson told Kaylee Hartung that he was checking the doctor's play-by-play of the game while at the hospital. He was gone from the stadium for roughly an hour while being evaluated.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson acknowledged he "never wanted to go" to the hospital after being injured during his team's Week 8 "Thursday Night Football" win over the Carolina Panthers.
Watson noted that having to leave the stadium via ambulance was difficult during a postgame interview with Amazon Prime Video's sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung.
"It was tough. Honestly, I never wanted to go," Watson said. "I was hoping that they would let me off. I said I was kinda feeling better once I kinda caught my breath. But I mean they said there was a couple of signs that made them have to take me over there."
"It is what it is," he added. "I was just praying that it was good enough to where I could come back out here. Obviously, thankfully it was and I was able to get back out."
Watson was originally injured after catching a 53-yard deep pass from Jordan Love in the second quarter of the game. He landed hard on the ball as he came to the ground and remained down, rolling onto his back before being tended to by Green Bay's training staff.

The Green Bay Packers (5-3) overcame an ugly start and an unnecessarily stressful finish by dominating the Carolina Panthers (3-4) for the rest of the contest, and Jordan Love's three touchdown passes allowed Matt LaFleur's team to escape with a 27-19 win on "Thursday Night Football" to open Week 8.
Instant ***** ysis of the Packers' win over the Panthers on TNF:
It was over when...
Christian Watson, who missed time while getting precautionary tests at a local hospital, moved the chains on third down late in the fourth quarter, allowing the Packers to kill off most of the remaining clock and end any chances of a final comeback attempt.
WR Christian Watson: His 10 targets created eight catches and 113 yards, including a 53-yarder that sparked a scoring drive. He had a scary injury coming down with the deep ball, had to go to the hospital for testing and still returned to make an impact in the second half.

After having to go to the hospital for a potential chest injury during the first half of Thursday night's game against the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers top wide receiver Christian Watson returned to the field in the second half and was immediately targeted. His return to the game was greeted by applause from the crowd at Lambeau Field.
Here is a look at Watson's return to the field, courtesy of the NFL's official social media:
According to the broadcast, Watson is wearing additional chest padding and has indicated there is pain on the lower right side of his chest. He has a long injury history during his time in the NFL, including a concussion, multiple hamstring injuries, multiple knee bruises, a torn ACL and a chest injury last season.
While his return to the game is impressive after his trip to the hospital, it also raises questions about player safety. It is difficult to recall a time when a player has gone to the hospital during an NFL game and has returned to that game. Especially given Watson's injury history and the fact that Green Bay had a 14-point lead at the time of his return, there is an argument to be made that it would have been safer for Watson to remain out for the rest of the game.

Sean Brady won't be competing in the main event of UFC Fight Night 293 due to a gnarly knee injury that forced him to stay in the hospital for multiple days.
Brady (19-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) was set to face Gabriel Bonfim in the Nov. 7 headliner at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, but was forced out due to an infection and fluid buildup in his knee. The welterweight contender hopes to keep the matchup with Bonfim (20-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) together, but isn't certain what will happen just yet.
Brady detailed the reasons for the fight's cancellation on "The BradyBags Show".
"So last week, Tuesday, I practiced in the morning," Brady explained. "Everything was going completely fine. By nighttime, I was going to do my next workout. I jumped on my bike. My knee was a little bit swollen afterwards. By 9 o'clock at night, I couldn't walk. So, that's Tuesday. Wednesday morning, I already knew because I've been in this situation before, like I've dealt with bursitis and sh*t, and I knew this wasn't bursitis – I knew it was an infection.
"So, I knew right away from dealing with my arm and my leg, the feeling that you get, it's just different. It's just a different pain. Like, I could barely walk. So, Wednesday morning, 6 a.m., first thing I do, I got to the hospital, and they start drawing blood, doing everything. They put me on IV antibiotics."

Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson suffered an injury at the end of a 53-yard catch during the second quarter of Thursday night's showdown with the Carolina Panthers.
Watson made the catch between two defenders while going to the ground. The Packers say Watson is questionable to return with a chest injury.
After being evaluated on the field, Watson walked off the field under his own power. He was evaluated inside the blue medical tent and then walked back to the locker room. The Prime Video broadcast showed Watson getting into an ambulance after exiting the field.
John Kuhn of the Packers Radio Network said Watson would be taken to a local hospital for "precautionary tests."
Watson appeared to land hard, and the trailing defensive back fell on his back to amplify the impact.

Reading Women fought back from 3-1 down at half-time to claim a thrilling 5-3 victory over Chesham United at The Meadow on Sunday.
Chesham made a flying start, with Holly Fitzgerald and Ruby Slade scoring within two minutes of each other to put the hosts 2-0 ahead. Alice Curr pulled one back for the Royals, but United restored their two-goal advantage before the break when Henrietta Cunnison headed home from a corner to make it 3-1 at the break.
The first half was made even worse after an injury to Leah Why, last weekend's hat-trick hero, who hobbled off with ****** istance from two members of the Reading coaching team before being taken to hospital for further tests.
Reading bounced back with a determined second half, however. Bethan Poole struck first to give the Royals renewed vigour before Nat Cowell scored twice to complete the turnaround and put Reading in front, before Ellie Luscombe opened her account for the season and added a fifth goal, capping off an impressive turnaround and putting the result beyond doubt.
In the most autumnal of conditions, with torrential rain falling throughout the afternoon, the Royals displayed grit, tenacity and strength of character, fighting back to secure their second consecutive away league win of the season.

Lisa Vanderpump's nephew, Sam Vanderpump, recently opened up about his ongoing health struggles. The 29-year-old Made in Chelsea star shared that he is still awaiting a liver transplant following his diagnosis of end-stage liver disease.
Sam announced his diagnosis publicly in October 2025. The announcement came months after he suffered severe liver and kidney failure following sepsis in December 2024. In an Instagram post, he shared that he "lives with a genetic liver condition and polycystic kidney disease (PKD)."
While appearing on the October 7 episode of Good Morning Britain, Sam said, "When I was first told that I needed a transplant, they said maybe [in] the next two years I'd have a transplant. I think we're already a year down the line, and luckily my health hasn't deteriorated. But that is the fear."
The reality star, who dyed his hair pink to raise awareness about organ donation, said he has received an overwhelming response from fans. However, he clarified that getting a transplant is not that simple. Sam explained that organ donation follows a "certain procedure" that he cannot arrange himself.
"So if someone were interested in being a live donor for me, they would have to contact the hospital, King's College Hospital, and go through that route themselves," he added. "So, it's kind of like you're caught between a rock and a hard place. You want to get further up the list, but you don't want your health to deteriorate."

Christa Pike is "up and walking" in the hospital after surviving last week's failed attempt to execute her in Tennessee, a member of her legal team said Thursday.
Lawyer Stephen Ferrell told the BBC that he had learned she was moving around her hospital room, although he had not spoken to her.
"What's been described to me is that physically there's quite a bit going on, that her arms are very injured and she's not able to use them very much," he said. "She is up and walking for the first time today, but just around the room, not very far."
Ferrell described her mental state as "kind of good and bad," adding, "Good that she is fairly with it, but she's also somewhat foggy. She can lose her train of thought really easily and forgets where she's going."
He said he ****** umed Pike's situation would "keep improving," but added that "there could be some permanent damage. We don't know that yet."

Motherhood has felt noticeably different for Megan Fox this time, with the birth of her daughter Saga. The actress says her youngest child has brought her a calm she had not known before. The key difference, she said, is she "got to do everything in a different way" and not go straight back to work.
In an exclusive conversation with People, Megan Fox, 40, reflected on life with Saga Blade, her fourth child. "This is the first time I did not have to go back to work right away, so my postpartum experience has been very different," Fox said. "I've been able to really be with her the way I wanted to be."
Saga's birth was also unlike the others. "She's also the first one I didn't have in a hospital," the actress said. "I had her at home, in a tub, in the backyard, outside by a fire pit."
Fox and MGK welcomed their daughter in 2025. Fox has three other kids, Noah, 14, Bodhi, 12, and Journey, 10, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Returning to work early after her sons were born was hard on her, she explained. "It affected my mental health, and it affected my physical health as well," Fox said.
With the birth of her youngest, Fox is glad she could be around more. "Being able to really be present with her has been something that I love, and I'm so grateful that I got the chance to do it this way," she said.

Christa Pike is feeling "angry and confused" after waking up in the hospital in the wake of a failed execution attempt that left her with severe physical health challenges that put her on a "long road to recovery," her attorneys said on Wednesday.
Pike had been unconscious and in critical condition in the days after two doses of pentobarbital failed to end her life on Sept. 30, they said.
"On Monday night, it was our understanding that Christa was brain-dead and that life support would be removed the next day," Randy Spivey, a member of her legal team, said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon. "But on Tuesday, to the shock of everyone … Christa woke up and began talking."
Spivey said the effects of the pentobarbital have caused her to develop a blood clot, pneumonia and left her arms and hands "tremendously swollen," to the point where she's not currently able to use them. He added that Pike is still dealing with significant "cognitive confusion," but is "very aware" that the state had tried and failed to end her life.
The press conference came shortly after a hearing in which a judge granted Pike's attorneys' request to order the state to preserve all evidence connected to the execution, including medical equipment, communications related to the decision to call off the procedure or related to her emergency care and "anything that was in the actual room." The judge also ordered that any "barriers" that may prevent Pike from communicating with her attorneys while she's in the hospital be removed.

When True Food Kitchen filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 4, the chain's CEO Jeff Chandler tried to make it clear that the company planned to continue operating.
"This process is the best path forward to simplify the business and focus on what we do best: delivering craveable, health-forward food and genuine hospitality. We are confident this step will help us build a stronger True Food Kitchen for the future," he said in a press release.
True Food Kitchen serves an upscale clientele looking for healthy food. Most of its stores are located in higher-end shopping or lifestyle plazas. That contributed to its financial problems, Chad Van Horn, founder and managing partner of Van Horn Law Group in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., shared with TheStreet.
"True Food Kitchen did not file because people stopped eating there. Sales were essentially flat, about $312 million last year against $314 million the year before, and the reported debt is around $42 million. That is a cost and footprint problem, not a demand problem," he said.
As part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, True Food Kitchen shared that it had already closed 12 restaurants. Those locations completed their final service on Oct. 4, but the initial release did not share which locations were closing.

Karl-Anthony Towns says the pandemic brought him closer to Jordyn Woods, deepening a friendship that eventually became a marriage.
The New York Knicks center told PEOPLE that having COVID-19 "broke me down to the core," while also helping shape the man he became.
He said Woods witnessed his illness firsthand and understands why he remains particularly protective of himself and his family when it comes to the virus.
The interview comes as Towns serves as a paid spokesperson for Sanofi in a campaign promoting NUVAXOVID, a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine. Sanofi announced the partnership on Oct. 2.
Towns' mother, Jacqueline Cruz-Towns, died on April 13, 2020, at 58 after spending about a month hospitalized with COVID-19. His father, Karl Towns Sr., also contracted the virus and recovered. Other relatives died as the pandemic continued.

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking in the hospital after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute her last week, her lawyers said Tuesday.
"Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care. Despite the severe damage she endured to her arms, she is still handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery," her legal team wrote in a statement released to the media.
Pike had been unconscious and in critical condition in the days after two doses of pentobarbital failed to end her life on Wednesday, Sept. 30, according to her attorneys.
Dr. Joel Zivot, a medical expert who has consulted with Pike's legal team, told the **** ociated Press that the latest update "bodes well for a good recovery," but said that the full picture of her long-term health won't be clear for some time.
"She has recovered to a certain degree that she's able to be off a ventilator and able to speak, but in no way would I announce her free of further serious risk," he said. "There's still a lot of bad things that can happen here."
