THERE WILL BE no local autopsy or coroner’s inquest into the apparent suicide of United States Embassy official George Gaines.
In an unusual twist, the body of the 51-year-old security official was flown to his United States homeland Wednesday, following high-level talks between United States Embassy and Government officials.
