The message was forwarded to the Crown that Captain Crook had been killed and his body not recovered. The Crown through intermediaries sent a demand that Captain Crook's body be returned.

Where is Captain Cook buried?
Captain Cook was killed at Hawaii on 14 February 1779. A week later his remains were formally buried at sea in Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii.
