KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – The 79th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan – a soldier only days away from returning to Canada – was killed by an improvised explosive device Sunday afternoon while taking part in a supply mission.
Trooper Michael Yuki Hayakaze, 25, was a member of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), based out of Edmonton and was to have returned to Canada in days after completing a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.
