London Marathon 2014: Missing Runner Mami Konneh Lahun Found
A female runner who went missing after completing the London Marathon has been found safe and well.
Mami Konneh Lahun, 24, from Sierra Leone, arrived in the UK on 7 April to take part in the 26.2-mile race but did not return to her temporary accommodation in Greenwich, south London, after finishing the race.
Konneh Lahun, who finished the marathon in 20<sup>th place, turned up safely, police said.
Konneh Lahun is reportedly Sierra Leone's fastest-ever female 5,000m and 10,000m runner. Last year, she won the Sierra Leone and Liberia marathons.
A 42-year-old man who collapsed and died after finishing the marathon has still not been named. A statement from the event organisers said: "It is with regret that we have learnt of the death of a competitor.
"The organisers would like to express their sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased."
Correction: Police retracted their original statement and confirmed Konneh Lahun is still missing.
