The runner who died in Brooklyn Half Marathon was a therapist from New York


The 32-year-old runner who collapsed and died after completing the Brooklyn Half Marathon was a New York University master’s graduate and behavioral therapist, The Post has learned.

David Reichman fell in the sweltering heat on the boardwalk near the finish line at Ocean Parkway in Brighton Beach on Saturday and was later pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital, cops said.

Reichman was one of the founders of Field Trip Health, a mental health and psychotherapy company in Kips Bay, according to his LinkedIn profile.
