Lemuel Steeples was on the plane that crashed in Poland with a USA Boxing team killing all aboard.
This is from a story about that crash:

"A Polish Airlines flight, on a Soviet-built Ilyushin 62 jet, crashes while attempting to land in Warsaw, killing all 87 people on board, including 22 members of the United States boxing team, on this day in 1980. Among the victims were the 14 American amateur boxers, most in their teens and taking their first trip out of the United States, who were traveling with six coaches and an aide to attend televised matches in Katowice, Poland. The boxers were preparing for the upcoming Olympic trials (later the United States would boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan). The team was led by Coach Tom Sarge Johnson, who had helped the 1976 U.S. Olympic boxing team earn five gold medals and seven medals overall.
Lemuel Steeples was the best boxer aboard the plane. He had recently won the Pan American Games championship in his weight class and was the amateur national champion; he would have been the favorite for the Olympic gold medal. A future light-heavyweight champion of the world, Bobby Czyz, was fortunate not to be on the flight. The Polish American boxer was a member of the U.S. boxing team and had been scheduled to make the trip, but had cancelled when he was injured in a car accident just days before team’s departure."

Marvis Frazier was picked to go on the trip but his father Joe didn't want him flying and said he can't go. He was replaced by another Philly heavyweight Jimmy Clark who missed the flight from Philly to New York to meet up with the team.
