U S seeks return of mercenary Daniel Gearhart body
The State Department said it aims to arrange the repatriation of Daniel Gearhart’s body after Angola demanded a $5,000 embalming and transport fee. Gearhart, 34, was executed in Angola after being captured while working as a mercenary to pay debts. His widow, Sheila Gearhart, says she has no funds and faces burial of his body if she cannot pay within eight days. The U.S. lacks diplomatic ties with the current Angolan government, complicating efforts. State Dept spokesman Robert Funseth said officials are trying to contact former Luanda consulate employee Julio Correa to arrange shipment.
