A France runner die in Sahara Ultra marathon

29/03/2007 - Communiqué
Communiqué 29.03.07 at 12H30 GMT

It is with deep sadness that Race Director Patrick Bauer and all the organisation of MARATHON DES SABLES informs you of the death of Bernard Julé from France, N°53, today 29.03.07 at 06H35.

Bernard Julé was found unconscious by his tent-mates at 6H30 this morning. The organisation’s medical team was called immediately and confirmed his death.

Bernard Julé had run a good course from the beginning. He had sought no medical aid and his medical file showed no risk factor.

According to his tent-mates, Bernard had run the 70km long stage well, finishing at 18h30 yesterday. He arrived in very good spirits. At 3H30 this morning he woke up to welcome his mates back to the bivouac.

Patrick Bauer, the organisation and the competitors extend their warmest sympathy to Bernard’s family and friends.

A minute’s silence was held on the bivouac.

為台灣跑友黃金明默哀一分鐘

國道馬拉松意外 首次參賽 選手猝死　３／２５金明的最後一天

第十二屆台北國道馬拉松昨日在風雨中進行，遺憾的是，二十一公里組半程馬拉松的跑者黃金明，在通過十公里處突然倒地；經現場醫護急救並送往馬偕醫院後仍宣告不治。

從事科技業的參賽者黃金明，現年卅二歲，這是他第一次參加馬拉松賽事，也是最後一次。

風雨交加 老手說難度高

昨日國道馬拉松在清晨六時風雨交加的天候下開跑，對跑者而言，強風夾雜雨勢的挑戰難度頗高，就連拿下桂冠的辛巴威高手阿爾貝都直呼：「今天最困難的 是要在風雨中比賽。」據目擊事發經過的謝姓跑友指出，黃金明是在腳部踢到路面某一物體時，包括臉部、右肩部分直接撞到國道旁水泥護欄後倒地不起。

二○○七家樂福國道馬拉松醫療總指揮陳德理表示，意外發生後，醫療小組立即依據緊急救援標準作業程序操作，對跑者進行施救，遺憾的是，黃金明在送往臨近的馬偕醫院急救後，仍然回天乏術。

血糖過高 猝死原因待查

主辦單位中華路跑協會秘書長陳華恆指出，馬偕醫院宣告黃金明是因心肺衰竭死亡，根據院方的說法，死者血液檢查發現血糖過高，目前全案已移送警方處理。

根據路協詢問黃金明的家屬與女友得知，黃金明可能感到身體有些胖，想藉由運動減重，所以最近運動得很勤快，這應是他首次挑戰長距離路跑，由於他沒有任何病史，猝死原因還待調查。黃金明的遺體已送回南投埔里老家，路協會幫忙善後。

另外，跑者在報名參賽時，中華路協已替參賽者投保公共意外險，若黃金明身亡係屬承保範圍，將獲得明台保險公司理賠三百萬元。不過陳華恆指出，若是跑 者因個人疾病導致運動傷害，或因個人體質或因自身心血管之症狀，像是休克、心臟病、糖尿病、熱衰竭、中暑、高山症、癲癇、脫水等，上述之病況則不在理賠範 圍。

這是國內馬拉松史上第二樁選手猝死案例，十一年前，民國八十五年同樣是國道馬拉松，當時參加十公里組的跑者廖信嘉在終點前一百公尺休克，經送醫後不治。

馬偕醫院急診主任張文瀚表示，該名男子約在昨天早上七點十分時在路跑現場倒下，馬偕醫院派駐現場的二名隨隊醫師立刻進行插管等急救處理，但患者當時已無呼吸、心跳。患者七點三十分左右被送抵馬偕醫院急診室，院方持續急救到九點半，沒能成功。

醫師指出，該名年輕男子原本無特殊疾病、也沒有心臟疾病病史，雖檢查顯示有血糖與鉀離子偏高現象，但鉀離子偏高可能是急救後產生現象，目前無法知道猝死原因。

臨床上常見的年輕人猝死多與心臟病、心律不整、心律不整導致的心室頻脈、電解質不平衡（鉀離子偏高）有關。

黃金明女友的感人留言

為什麼 金明 為什麼是你? 你為什麼丟下我不管

2007/03/26 16:59

3/25那天一早4點多起來，我還記得很清楚，你一起床，就說睡得很飽，因為你昨晚九點多就睡了，之後一起到現場，雖然很冷，但你卻跟我說今天狀況不錯， 我想之前參加跑步都沒有這樣說過，應該真的狀況很好吧，5:30集合，6:00起跑，未開跑前天氣雖不好，但至少沒下雨，可是一過6:00，突然下大雨， 就覺得不妙，開始祈求不要再下雨了，幸好雨勢也變小了，但溫度就下降，感覺滿冷的。

我還記得七點多有看到救護車經過，心想怎麼會有人在跑步時要送醫的，但沒想到那個人居然是我交往九年的男朋友。為什麼是你，昨天才跟我一起去看婚紗，你還 說要讓我當個漂亮的新娘，今天我再見到了卻是一副冷冷的屍體，才短短幾個小時，居然就天人永隔了....

我在現場等你，等到8點多，心想你跑得很快，為什麼還沒回來，就走到會場中間，隱約聽到有黃金明的名字，上前詢問，居然叫我要有心理準備，還叫我通知你家人，因為我什麼都不是，沒辦法做主。

到了醫院，就一群醫師圍著我，說什麼有的沒的，重點就是叫我要放棄急救，因為他們已經做了一個半小時的急救，叫我放棄急救，否則痛苦的是你，我不想放棄急 救，但他們又說其實急救半個小時若無效，就沒辦法了，現在做的這些，只是讓你的身體難過，可是我的心卻很痛，你知道嗎?你為什麼這麼沒責任，居然就這樣放 手去了，我連你最後一面都沒看到呢。你怎麼能這麼對我，我知道我對你很兇，我知道我不溫柔，可是你叫我一個人怎麼辦，我從沒想過沒有你的一天，我一直以為 我們可以一直到老，為什麼，為什麼遇到這種事的人是我，我說怎麼過下去，昨天完全睡不著，可是妹妹一直叫我睡，說不定你會來夢中找我。

可是我睡得很淺，可能是這樣，你沒辦法入我夢，是吧?失去你，我真的很痛苦，醫生卻說是心臟衰竭而死，可是你明明就沒有病，為什麼叫我接受這種死法，你親 人都說不解剖，可是我卻想，不是要讓你不好走，而是你明明就很健康，我跟你在一起，我最清楚，你比我都要注重養生，照顧自己，新聞怎麼會說你死於心血管疾 病，一派胡言，我好氣好氣，可是我不是家屬，所以沒有資格說什麼，但我跟你最親的啊，你在想什麼，我看一眼就知道了，但我卻是最沒資格說話，好恨啊！我也 沒要求什麼，我只是想知道你明確的死因，至少讓我知道你怎麼去的，不是嗎?算了，我什麼立場都沒有，金明，我對不起你，若我有阻止你，就不會發生這種事 了，對不起。
