A team of police and forest department officials used a coast guard boat to visit the island Wednesday and another visit was planned Thursday. Police on Wednesday said fishermen who helped John Allen Chau visit the island saw a dead person being buried at the shore who appeared to be Chau. The family of an American killed by isolated Indian tribesmen says it is forgiving those who did it. Police say Chau was killed on North Sentinel Island by a tribe known for shooting bows and arrows at outsiders. They say seven fishermen have been arrested for helping Chau visit the island last week.
