It's a factor. Apparently 26/27°C at the time, and sure that's hot

The story here isn't that he collapsed - this happens, it's an endurance sport, and sometimes people push themselves harder than they can take - it's that he was left delerious and distressed on the tarmac for ages without any assistance.
