Body of Local Tsunami Victim Found

The body of Hannah Shi, New York City's first confirmed tsunami victim, was found late last week and returned home over the weekend. Shi, a 25 year old NYU graduate, was working at the Hong Kong office of Morgan Stanley and on vacation on an island in Thailand.

Her parents made the trip to Thailand to search for their daughter in December. One worry of theirs was that Hannah, if dead, might be buried in a mass grave with the thousands of Thai victims because of her ethnicity. A memorial for Hannah will be at St. Bart's Church on Saturday.
