Captured Briton Paul Urey's family raise repatriation funds
The Family of a British man who died after being captured in the Ukraine war have raised £9,000 to repatriate his body.
Paul Urey, who lived in Warrington, was at a checkpoint in Ukraine in April and accused of being a mercenary.
His Family and the UK government said he was doing humanitarian work.
His daughter Chelsea Coman said the repatriation would help to give The Family " closure".
Mr Urey, 45, who had a Heart Condition and diabetes, died In July .
The Foreign , Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) had previously said it was unable to pay for the repatriation.
Ms Coman, 20, who lives in Manchester, said: " It would set our minds At Ease to be able to lay him to rest and know that he's not in a different country still suffering even though he's died. "
She Set Up a crowdfunder to raise funds for the repatriation, saying that they were told by FCDO that it could cost about £10,000.
" It's very overwhelming because a lot of strangers across The World have taken The Time to write these messages and send money over to help us, and they don't even know us, " She Said .
" Without the GoFundMe and all these strangers giving us The Money to help us bring dad Home . . I don't think we would have possibly been able to do it. "
Ms Coman's stepfather, Christopher Chadderton, 53, has criticised the FCDO for their dealings with The Family .
He Said they left his stepdaughters " in a state of limbo, not knowing whether they could get their father back".
" Rather than saying, 'don't worry about The Money , we'll get your dad back', it was a case of, 'to bring your dad back is going to cost this much', " He Said .
Mr Chadderton said he was " very proud" of his stepdaughters for raising The Money to repatriate Mr Urey's body.
" But I think a lot of it was unnecessary and it shouldn't have been put on such Young Shoulders such a huge responsibility, " he added.
'Working with authorities'An FCDO representative said it was " unfortunately not able to pay for the repatriation of British nationals who have died overseas".
" We have supported Paul's family throughout this ordeal and will continue to work with the Ukrainian authorities to get him Home , " they added.
" Our thoughts remain with the Urey family at this difficult time. "
Earlier in September, the Ukraine government said Mr Urey's body had been returned by Russia with signs of " possible unspeakable torture".
If proven, they would contradict earlier statements by Russian-backed officials that he died due to health conditions.
In July , the FCDO summoned The Russian ambassador over Mr Urey's death, saying Russia must bear full responsibility.
Mr Urey was detained in April with Dylan Healy, from Cambridgeshire, who was - including five Britons, after being held by Russian-backed forces in Ukraine.
