    CHICAGO (AP) -- A Michigan man died Sunday while running the Chicago Marathon as stifling heat and smothering humidity forced organizers to shut down the course midway through the race.</p>

    Chad Schieber, 35, collapsed while running on the South Side and was pronounced dead shortly before 1 p.m. at a Veteran's Affairs hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.</p>

    An autopsy on the Midland, Mich., man was scheduled for Monday.</p>

    Another 250 people were taken to area hospitals because of heat-related ailments.</div></p>

    <p align="left">Quite horrific. The heat here has been unusual at this time of year, but you can blame it on the odd weather system our World has had all year long for the first time almost a decade. Expect harsh a Winter as well.</p>
