Former St. John’s guard, Lee Green, died from the coronavirus Monday March 24, according to his close friend and former teammate Lamont Middleton.
The 49-year old Bronx-native was a retired police officer in Brooklyn and a DJ who went by the stage name “El Dorado.” Having no known pre-existing medical issues, Green’s death “really caught everyone off guard,” Brian Mahoney, who coached Green for two years at St. John’s, said. It is believed Green contracted the coronavirus while at an event where he was working as the DJ.
At St. John’s, Green played for two NCAA tournament teams from 1991-94.
