Marvin Lee to be buried today

FORMER Trinidad and Tobago Under-20 football captain Marvin Lee will be buried at the Tunapuna Cemetery today, following a funeral service at the Dr Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence, Macoya, Tunapuna from 3 pm.

Lee died on Sunday morning at the Arima Health Facility after suffering from pneumonia. The Santa Rosa, Arima resident was paralysed from the neck down following an injury during the CONCACAF Under-20 World Cup qualifier against the United States, also at the Centre of Excellence, on March 20, 2001. FIFA vice-president Jack Warner, who attended to the late 21-year-old’s needs after his crippling injury, has agreed to foot the bill for Lee’s funeral expenses.
