Muslim soldier, wife raise issue over son’s death
A Muslim soldier and his wife in North Carolina, upset over how their infant son’s body was handled after his death, may join a legal battle in Kansas over whether the military respects religious freedoms.
Pfc. Eli Agee and his wife, Mackenzie, are angry that an autopsy was performed - over their objections - on their son after he died May 3 at his home at Fort Bragg, N.C. The Agees are Muslim and believe an autopsy desecrates the body.
