 1.  (U)  This cable contains and action request.  See 
paragraph 3. 
 
2.  (U)  The Dominican National Directorate for Drug Control 
(DNCD) informed Embassy-Santo Domingo that fugitive Christian 
Toribio, ref A, wanted to stand trial in Kings County, New 
York on murder, assault and firearms charges, is deceased. 
The DNCD provided a copy of the interment certification 
indicating that Toribio was buried in the city of Moca on 
June 15, 2001.  The interment certificate does not list the 
cause of death, however, Toribio would have been 73 on the 
date of his burial.  Emboff consulted with the Assistant 
Attorney General in charge of extradition cases who confirmed 
that this document is sufficient to confirm the death of 
Toribio. 
 
3.  (U)  Embassy requests L/LEI to notify DOJ/OIA and the 
local prosecutor's office of the death of this fugitive. 
Embassy Santo Domingo considers this extradition case closed.
