Bobby Graves Obituary, Death – A runner tragically passed away over the weekend after participating in Disneyland’s Halloween Half Marathon. Anaheim police reported that the man, identified as 35-year-old Bobby Graves, collapsed shortly after crossing the finish line on Sunday morning. Graves had completed the race in under two hours, a respectable time, but after finishing, he began clutching his chest, prompting a race worker to rush to his aid, according to *People* magazine.
First responders were already present at the event and immediately provided medical assistance. Despite their efforts and life-saving measures, Graves was transported to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The Orange County Coroner’s Office confirmed his death, as reported by the *Los Angeles Times*.
Graves, who was known as Caleb to many of his social media followers, was an enthusiastic runner and a dedicated Disney fan. He often shared his running experiences and Disney adventures on social media, including his participation in the half marathon the weekend of his passing.
Authorities noted that Graves had no known pre-existing medical conditions, making his sudden death all the more unexpected. The event took place during a period of record high temperatures in California, with triple-digit heat affecting both Los Angeles and Orange counties. While it’s unclear whether the heat played a role in his death, the Orange County Coroner’s Office is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause.
