Michel Seurat
Edit ProfileCareer
He was kidnapped on May 22, 1985, in Lebanon, by the Islamic Jihad Organization, a Lebanese terrorist organization that was the precursor to Hezbollah. Unlike his cellmate Jean-Paul Kauffmann, also kidnapped the same day, he was not released. On 5 March 1986 Islamic Jihad stated that it had executed Seurat.
However, his fellow hostages revealed on their release that Seurat had died of hepatitis.
In October 2005, the remains of Michel Seurat were found in the southern suburbs of Beirut by construction workers, and were formally identified after deoxyribonucleic acid testing.
