I think he walked in, said the message, and died right there just like in a movie.

How did they know the message was done? Did he say over before dying?

Funny question! The stories can’t seem to agree. Pheidippides is the most common one, but there are at least a few other names claimed in Classical stories as the REAL name of the runner.
