William Rosenbir Garcia (March 28, 1877 – August 12, 1951) was an American track and field athlete who competed in the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1]
In 1904, he did not finish the marathon competition.[2] He made it 19 miles (31 km) before he started coughing up blood on the side of the street. If a passing bystander had not found him, Garcia may have died.[citation needed]
