Errol Flynn’s son ‘remains discovered’

London, March 29 (ANI): Two men have discovered what they believe are the remains of Vietnam War-era photographer Sean Flynn, the son of Hollywood actor Errol Flynn who went missing in Cambodia in 1970.

The US Embassy has said that forensic tests are to be conducted on the alleged remains.

At least 37 journalists were killed or are listed as missing from the 1970-75 war, which pitted the US-backed Lon Nol government against the North Vietnamese-supported Khmer Rouge.

A number of journalists were known to have been captured by the Khmer Rouge and probably executed.

US Embassy spokesman John Johnson said Australian David MacMillan and Briton Keith Rotheram have given the alleged remains to US authorities, who planned to pass them on to the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), a US military institution in Hawaii that forensically analyses evidence that may lead to the repatriation of Americans killed in overseas conflicts.

“Obviously there is nothing conclusive and tests need to be conducted. Each case is different so it is difficult to speculate on how long the analysis may take,” the Daily Express quoted Johnson as saying. (ANI)
