SLEEPY EYE, Minn. (AP) - A Minnesota man whose son once fled the
state to avoid chemotherapy has died.
     A private funeral is set for Friday for Anthony Hauser. Family
friend Dan Zwakman says Hauser died last Thursday of cardiac arrest
at a Minnesota hospital. He was 56.
     Hauser, of Sleepy Eye, told reporters at his farm last year that
he had a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. He said he was
treating the disease with dietary therapies.
     In 2009, Hauser's wife, Colleen, fled to California with their
son, Daniel, after a judge ordered the boy to undergo chemotherapy
for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Daniel and his mother returned, and he
underwent conventional treatment. Zwakman says Daniel, now 15,
remains in remission.
     Email and phone messages for Colleen Hauser were not immediately
returned Tuesday.
