A recently discovered document proves conclusively that the United States armed forces discovered the body of Maurice Bishop and subjected the body to forensic examination.
The document is titled Library of Congress – Interview with Charles Anthony Gillespie Jr.
Anthony Gillespie was chief of mission for the US invasion of Grenada in October 1983. In the course of the interview, Gillespie makes reference to a visit to Grenada by a congressional delegation on 4 November 1983. He indicates that they toured the island in a car with him and he pointed out where various incidents had occurred, including the location where Maurice Bishop’s body had been discovered. If he was able to point this out on 4 November, the body must have been discovered by the US forces much earlier than they subsequently claimed.
Towards the end of the interview, Gillespie states, “I returned to being Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Caribbean in March 1984. We haven’t covered a few small details involving the forensic examination of Maurice Bishop’s body. I went out with a team from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Those guys were just remarkable going over these remains. They wanted to have me there so that I could understand what they were doing.”
This is conclusive proof that the US discovered the body of Maurice Bishop and subjected it to forensic examination. The Committee for Human Rights in Grenada, calls on the US Government to immediately return to Grenada the remains of Maurice Bishop and those of any others that they retained, and if they fail to do so, calls on the Government of Grenada to demand their return.

If we don’t talk about our history however uncomfortable we are likely to repeat the same mistakes. It is only by confronting it we can chage it. With that said if there are remains of the body it should be respectfully and sensitivity handled and returned to family members . It’s about human dignity .Questions need to the ask for transparency, accountability and integrity when there are conflicting reports/stories about any issue . Power and position should not make you less accountable.

America is a wicked nation.
Perhaps you should remove the stone from your own eye first? It’s so easy to blame the big superpower rather than do the necessary introspection so it never happens again. Instead we don’t talk about it, which allows all men to make conspiracy and nonsense. The younger generation have no idea what went down or why. Thus, we have the same kind of corruption now that Bishop and them went against in the first place. You think the US is to blame for the current administration’s corruption? Such thinking is delusional.
The US took advantage of a weak moment for Grenada. They didn’t kill Bishop (Grenadians did). They DO know where the remains went, though, and that has always been the question.
America is a corrupt country to think that America didn’t have anything to do with his murder is been delusional
This article is just making noise out of nothing. A NYT article here shows the timing is exactly as it always was. The US found bodies, half-cremated by Coardites, that they believed were Bishop and them. The real question has always been what happened to the remains after that — were they buried or do they remain in US custody for some reason.

I am not sure the article is just noise. It renews a very valid and important question. The Grenadian people especially the family of Maurice Bishop deserves to know what happened to his body – Regardless of what you think about him and his ideas.
