TRINITY, Fla. (AP) — A son and two daughters of George Steinbrenner have arrived at a cemetery near Tampa, four days after the death of the New York Yankees owner.

Neither the Yankees nor officials at Trinity Memorial Garden Cemetery would confirm that services were taking place Saturday.

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner and daughters Jessica Steinbrenner and Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal arrived in the early afternoon. A Yankees employee also was seen at the cemetery.

The 80-year-old Steinbrenner died of a heart attack Tuesday in Tampa. He had turned over day-to-day control of the team to sons Hal and Hank Steinbrenner in 2007.
