Man Dies After Twilight Running Festival A man critically injured when a tree fell on him during a running festival has died in hospital. Joe Kelly, 58, passed away in hospital on Friday with his wife - who was travelling with him - and his two daughters by his side after his children flew to Australia from his native Canada after the accident. He was hit by the tree during the Twilight Running Festival as storms lashed Brisbane on March 24. Mr Kelly has been remembered by friends in his hometown, Prince George, as a "gazelle" with a Pythonesque sense of humour. "Joe was a people-person who encouraged everybody to do their best and particularly in relation to skiing, biking and running he was an unbelievably supportive guy to everybody, just super," his training partner in Canada, Tim Rowe, told The Prince George Citizen. He drew people in and he had many friends in Prince George and Australia. He could connect with people. ..."He was planning on retiring and spending more time here. It's just tragic. Mr Rowe moved to Australia in 2010 to work in New South Wales and was planning a three-month tour of the country before moving back to Prince George, Canada, in October with his wife Laura. The family weathered tragedy in 2009 when the couple's 24-year-old daughter Sarah died in a car crash in their hometown. He had two other daughters in Canada, Jenn and Kerry, who flew in to Australia be with their parents last week. Mr Kerry was running along Sir Fred Schonell Drive, St Lucia about 6.20pm during the Sunday fun-run when he was struck by the falling branch. He was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in a critical condition where he remained until he died from his injuries. Organisers of the Twilight Running Festival posted their condolences on their website but are not commenting any further. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the tragically injured runner and his family," the statement said. With respect for the family's wishes we have not talked to the media and have no further comment.
