MONCTON, N.B. - The body of an RCMP officer killed in the devastating earthquake in Haiti will be flown back to his home province of New Brunswick on Monday.

Sgt. Mark Gallagher was in Port-au-Prince when the earthquake struck.

He was part of a UN training force, but was known in the Martimes as a media spokesman for the RCMP.

The police force says Gallagher's body is expected to arrive on a flight at the airport in Moncton, N.B., on Monday afternoon.

A ramp ceremony will be held at the airport.

The body will then be taken to Woodstock, N.B., where an RCMP regimental funeral will be held Thursday at St. Gertrude's Roman Catholic Church.
