Jamaican teen dies
By Kwame Laurence in Tobago
Jamaican Cavahn McKenzie died after completing the junior men’s six-kilometre event at yesterday’s North America, Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships, at the Mt Irvine Bay Golf Course, in Tobago.
McKenzie finished 21st in 20 minutes, 26 seconds, but then collapsed. He reportedly died in the ambulance while being taken to hospital.
National Association of Athletics Administrations (NAAA) president, Ephraim Serrette told the Express that 18-year-old McKenzie’s death was “cardiac related”.
Two more Jamaican athletes were taken to hospital late yesterday. At press time, no information about their condition was available.

A young man in the prime of his life…to die after a race.
Condolences to his family and friends. I’m sure they must be proud of him that he made it to the finish line.

Chups@Portia! The Jamaican Government need to get a team to go to Trinidad to investigate what happen!
Runners die all the time while running . The pressure on the heart excessive especially long distance running so maybe wait on the ME before Unnu bawl out bout poison etc.
Although I was kinda suspicious when they said two others were ill but no info was released.
