Funeral for 29-year-old victim of Boston bombing among events to be held Monday

A private funeral will be held in the early afternoon Monday for 29-year-old Boston Marathon bombing victim Krystal Campbell.

Meanwhile, a memorial service will be held at Boston University for the 23-year-old student from China who was studying at the school.

The two are among the three who died during the deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon. The living suspect is currently being treated at hospital after suffering a wound to his neck.

An MIT police officer was also shot later by the pair of brothers, the older who is dead, believed to have been responsible for the bombing.

Investigators say the wounded brother is only now well enough to begin communicating with them in writing, with officials saying the wounds to his throat make him unable to currently speak.

Also in Boston today a city-wide pause will be held at 2:50 p.m. at the mayor’s request. Reports are bells will ring through the city after.

Here in Toronto victims were honoured on Sunday at the Yonge Street 10K, where runners held a moment of silence and wore special bibs to show solidarity.

“Everyone who runs is happy, jubilant, supports everyone else, and for that sort of thing to happen it’s really devastating,” one runner said.

There were also marathons held in London, England and Vancouver Sunday, with no security issues reported.
