Former Manchester City youth player and England youth captain Courtney Meppen-Walter dies at the age of 32, according to an announcement by his former club Bury.
The outlets reporting on his death say he previously left Manchester City after a serious incident involving a car crash. They also note that the crash resulted in the deaths of a brother and sister, and that he was released by the club afterward. Bury is reported to have led tributes following news of his death.
The coverage focuses mainly on his football background—his time at Manchester City’s youth setup and his England youth captaincy—and then links that to the circumstances surrounding his separation from the club after the crash. Other details about his later life, career, or the cause and timing of his death are not provided in the excerpts.
