A CubaNews translation. Edited by Walter Lippmann.

Journalist Lionel Martin, correspondent in Cuba for numerous news organizations from the United States and other Western countries, died in Havana on Friday night at the age of eighty-seven.

His body was cremated this Saturday.

Martin covered the events of the Cuban Revolution in an exemplary way and spread them through telegraphic, radio and television channels of his country and other western nations.

His death caused deep sorrow in the Cuban media and among the foreign press accredited in Cuba.
