Body of man killed in native Iraq returned to Michigan
April 13, 2004, 7:24 PM


STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) -- The body of an Iraq native killed in his homeland was returned Tuesday to Michigan, his widow says.

Emad Mikha, 44, died while working with the U.S. Army as a civilian translator. He left his family in Sterling Heights and his job as a supermarket butcher last year to assist U.S. troops with prisoner interrogations.

Rita Mikha said she learned April 4 -- their 16th wedding anniversary -- that her husband died in the town of Muqdadiyah, about 70 miles northeast of Baghdad. She said Tuesday that she still had no information about how he died and was told autopsy results would not be available for four to six weeks.

Visitation was scheduled for 5-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Hopcroft Funeral Home in Madison Heights. A funeral Mass was to be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at Mother of God Chaldean Catholic Church, followed by a military service at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery, both in Southfield.

Rita Mikha said relatives, neighbors and friends were offering comfort to her and her three children, but having no income and no insurance left her anxious about the future.

"It's very hard for me to deal with this situation," she said. "I already lost my husband."

A memorial fund for the children of Emad Mikha has been established at TCF Bank, 8202 Metropolitan Parkway, Sterling Heights MI 48312.
