Runners getting set to take part in the Boston Marathon were warned beforehand that they were going to die, said a Squamish resident who took part in the race.
Two people were killed and more than 130 were injured when two explosions rocked the finish-line area of the famed, 42.2-kilometre running event on Monday (April 15).
Mike Heiliger, 59, said a woman holding several bags was telling runners who were picking up their pre-race packages in downtown Boston on Saturday (April 13) that they were going to die if they participated in the event.
I was downtown on Saturday and you know, you see these people on the street and think it's just some nutbar, he told The Chief from his Boston hotel on Monday. It was a little creepy because you can identify who the runners are and I heard her say to this runner two feet away from me that, 'If you run tomorrow you're going to die.'

And I said, "Well, good for that! I wasn't feeling up to another day at the office."
