The San Diego County coroner's office has released the identity of the Minnesota man who died in the Heaven's Gate mass suicide. He is Alphonzo Ricardo Foster, and he reportedly lived in the Twin Cities for about twenty years before joining the group in 1994. Foster was 45 when he died, was born in Detroit, and had three sisters and a brother. Officials are still looking his Foster's next-of-kin. Since they couldn't find relatives, they notified a Minneapolis man who says he was friends with Foster for twenty years. James Hannon says he met Foster October 7, 1974, the day they began training to drive bus for the MTC. It took a while, Hannon says, to get to know Foster, but once he did they were fast friends.
