ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A runner, actor and Disney TikTok creator died Sunday after finishing Disneyland's Halloween Half Marathon amid a record-setting heatwave blistering Southern California.

Around 7 a.m. Sunday, the 35-year-old man — identified as Bobby Graves, known by his middle name Caleb — crossed the finish line while clutching his chest, the Los Angeles Times reported. A volunteer caught him before he collapsed, Anaheim police told the newspaper.

In a TikTok video posted one day before his death, Graves spoke about passing out from heat exhaustion after going on a 20-minute walk with his dog.

"I really hope I get through the race tomorrow morning," he said at the end of the clip.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss, and our hearts are with Caleb’s family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Jessica Good, Disneyland Resort spokesperson told KTLA.
