Prior to the Olympics, he had won three national marathon championships in Portugal, where he represented S.L. Benfica.Lázaro was the first athlete to die during a modern Olympic event, after collapsing at the 30-kilometer mark (19 miles) of the marathon with a body temperature of 41 °C (105.8°F), The cause of death was initially thought to be severe dehydration due to the high temperature registered at the time of the race.
