Dish Dealers Husband Found Dead Near Tahiti

Littleton, Colo. - An EchoStar Communications Corp. spokesman confirmed last Friday that police were investigating the death of a South Dakota man whose body was found last Wednesday near Tahiti.

The dead man, who was married to a Dish Network retailer, had been missing from a dealer-incentive cruise for three days. A wire-service report identified him as Cris Allen Swartzbaugh of Tea, S.D.

EchoStar had flown family members to Tahiti last week to await word on the man's fate.
