Citing disease risk to tribe, group urges halt to hunt for dead American

John Allen Chau, 26, is believed to have been killed last week after traveling to North Sentinel - part of the Indian archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar in the Bay of Bengal - to try to convert the tribe to Christianity. Indian police are working with anthropologists and psychologists to see if a plan can be forged to recover the body of Chau, an officer said on Monday. The Sentinelese, generally considered the last pre-Neolithic tribe in the world, have violently resisted any contact with outsiders.
