Body of Canadian lies in wait in Bali

DENPASAR, Bali: The body of Canadian Lance Edward Green lies in wait here at the Sanglah Central General Hospital, as hospital officials await word on whether he will be sent back to his family or cremated in Bali.

Green, 37, worked as an engineer for PT Lerindo Internasional. He was in Bali to conduct a natural gas drilling in Bedugul, about 50 kilometers north of Denpasar.

The Canadian was found dead at his place of residence, not far from the drilling site, Tuesday.

"He doesn't have any family in Bali and there's still no request for an autopsy," Made Maker, head of the mortuary, was quoted by Antara as saying yesterday.

He added that news of Green's death has been sent to his family. (mds)
