China denies rumors of Panchen Lama's Death (EFE via COMTEX) ---- Beijing, Nov 05, 1999 (EFE via COMTEX) -- Chinese officials at the prison where the nine-year-old boy identified by the Dalai Lama as the 11th reincarnation of the Panchen Lama on Friday denied rumors that the child has died, the Hong Kong press reported. According to the China Freedom News Association, a special team from Lanzhou Prison Number One in the northern province of Gansu, took the boy's body to a nearby crematorium. The report was also denied in Beijing by Ye Xiaowen, director general of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, who called it an "unfounded rumor," the South China Morning Post reported. <snip> ji jang bosal, --ja hae | Debora A.
