(August 25, 2008) - The family of a Marlin man is searching for answers after the 25-year-old died during a soccer game.
It happened on Aug. 19 on a tennis court owned by the city.
Friends say Quadilupe Rodriguez fell to the ground in pain after colliding with a pole on the tennis court.
Friends say Rodriguez hit a medal pin that holds the net in place.
The City of Marlin says the nets have been down for years and the tennis courts and many of the city's other parks are not checked on a regular basis.
Marlin's city manager says the City Council will talk about ways to improve the park at its next scheduled meeting.
Meanwhile Rodriguez' friends say they're trying to raise money to give him a proper memorial.
