The 42-year-old from Las Vegas reportedly drowned on Aug. 2, 2002, authorities said, although the official cause and manner of death were unclear Wednesday.

Other remains found include a body in a corroded barrel with a gunshot wound, officials previously said....

“I hope and pray we get a match for my son,” she said. Two-year-old Ezra was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2021. Marfo became a stem cell donor but it wasn’t a perfect match. His son relapsed earlier this year. “It’s very painful to watch and stay 24/7 in the crib. If you want to pick him up, he has to be close to the crib because he has a lot of tubes attached,” Marfo said....

“There was a police incident onboard the Coastal Inspiration Thursday evening, which has had a ripple effect on service (Friday),” said Deborah Marshall, BC Ferries’ executive director of public affairs. “We had our crews work extensive, excessive hours Thursday night on two of our vessels on the Tsawwassen to Duke Point run, and as a result, we’ve had to stand them down for Friday evening sailings, due to crew fatigue....

Pour lui prouver la véracité de cette courte phrase lorsqu’elle a exprimé ses doutes lors d’une brève conversation téléphonique, son fils lui a envoyé la photo de sa sœur Margot, 15 ans, la gorge tranchée. « J’ai crié », dit la mère : « J’ai vu que c’était elle. Puis elle a appelé la gendarmerie, son fils l’avait déjà fait. “Pour moi, ce n’était pas possible”, poursuit-il. Il voulait qu’un membre des forces de l’ordre le soigne....

Comment A revamped version of a popular 1980s family car once owned by Princess Diana has sold for almost $764,000 at auction, a record for the model, after a bidding war broke out between British and foreign collectors. Diana drove the black 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo for nearly three years and was regularly photographed using it on trips around London’s posh shopping lanes in Chelsea and Kensington. “This is a little moment in history, ladies and gentlemen,” the auctioneer said as he opened the bidding at 100,000 pounds ($117,000) – an opening figure that had already eclipsed the previous record for a similar car, in white, sold last year....

As an “old” guy whose first mobile phone experiences involved laborious T9 text input, ringtones and lots of snakes, I’m mostly interested in a phone that’s fast and reliable. But that’s every smartphone now, even the budget ones: You get powerful chips, tons of storage, state-of-the-art cameras and high-resolution displays. So all that’s left to innovate on is… aesthetics? From the looks of the Z Flip 4 (and BTS-focused marketing), that seems to be the case....

The number of people asking for food parcels in parts of Cornwall has risen by 75% in the last 12 months, while 1,500 people are in emergency accommodation and more than 21,000 are on housing waiting lists....

While dancing with my friends in a club, I saw a girl sitting all alone. In my drunken revelry, I tried to get her to join us and waved her over. She yelled at me to leave her alone, so I pushed her away. Things escalated when she threw her drink at me, causing everyone in the club to stare at us. Then security came and threw us both out....

The risk of stroke appears to double an hour after consuming just one drink – whether it’s wine, beer or hard liquor. “The impact of alcohol on stroke risk appears to depend on how much and how often you drink,” said Murray A.

The report, seen by Reuters ahead of its publication on Thursday, cites commercial satellite imagery and open-source information to identify with “high confidence” the separate locations – including facilities that once served as schools, markets and regular prisons. It also locates possible graves in a prison complex. The Humanitarian Research Laboratory at the Yale School of Public Health that authored the report is a partner in a US State Department-funded Conflict Observatory launched in May to capture and analyze evidence of war crimes and other atrocities allegedly committed from Russia to Ukraine....
