There are no words for how shocking this is.
Well-known chef Matt Campbell, whom you may have seen on Masterchef: The Professionals last year, has died at only 29 years old.
The Nutritional Gastronomy expert was running in the London Marathon when he collapsed around the 22.5 mile mark. He was taken to the hospital where he passed away.

Marathon organizers confirmed Campbell’s death in a thoughtful public statement Monday, writing:
“Everyone involved in the organisation of the London Marathon would like to express our sincere condolences to Matt’s family and friends.”
They also mentioned Matt’s chosen charity, The Brathay Trust, who you can help in his memory HERE.
The exact cause of death has not been made public, but the marathon was the hottest on record according to the BBC.
Please, stay safe out there, everyone!
