THE funeral of John Carter, who died after being found unconscious in a communal lift at the Salamander Court high rise in Leith, was to be held at Seafield Crematorium today.

Family and friends of the 44-year-old, who died on February 27, were set to pay tribute to his life during the service at 11am.

Last month, two men appeared in court charged with murdering Mr Carter.

Simon Brown, 40, from North Berwick, and Paul Banks, 47, from Edinburgh, were charged when they appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
