"Voice of Wired," Dead at 43

Wired former deputy editor William Goggins collapsed during the San Francisco Marathon and died of apparent heart failure. He was 43.

The avid runner had just passed the 24-mile mark of what was to be his first 26.2 mile race, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson told the Chronicle that Goggins’ “mark on Wired was profound.”

“Think of him as being the smartest, fastest, wittiest person you’ve ever met,” Anderson said. “That’s Bill.”
