TORONTO — The body of a Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan on Monday is now scheduled to return home on Friday, not today as initially planned.
Capt. Nicole Meszaros of CFB Trenton says a mechanical problem has developed in the Airbus aircraft that will carry the body of Cpl. Nathan Hornburg to the base in eastern Ontario.
Meszaros says the flight will leave Friday, but could not give an estimated time of arrival at CFB Trenton.
Hornburg, 24, died in Afghanistan on Monday while he tried to put a track back on a tank while under fire.
He is the 71st Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan since the mission began in 2002.
After arriving at CFB Trenton, a convoy will transport Hornburg's body to Toronto where an autopsy will be performed.
