African Country: River Flood and Greg Janzen

african country: Greg Janzen was reacting to the death of Mavis Otuteye, a 57-year-old woman believed to be from the African country of Ghana, whose body was found late last week near Noyes, Minn, according to Huffington Post Canada. We were always expecting to find someone in the ditch when the snow melted, which we never did,'' he said. It was just a matter of time until an asylum seeker died trying to illegally cross the border into Canada, the reeve of Emerson, Man., said Tuesday. Then the Red River didn't flood nearly as much as we expected so we thought it would be clear sailing, but now we have this.'' The Kittson County sheriff's department said an initial autopsy concluded the cause of death was possible hypothermia, though a final autopsy is still pending.
