The mother of Colvin, Rosemarie told CNN on Saturday that, perempuanya child is likely to be buried in Syria, because it was considered too risky for rescuers, to restore his body.
"Yesterday we said that, today is probably the last day to take care of his body," he told the network.
Red Cross team on Saturday said that they have not reached an agreement to evacuate the two journalists who were killed and the injured from Homs, Syria. It can not be done because the forces of President Bashar al-Assad continued to launch attacks into the city Baba Amr.
Meanwhile, a British photographer, Paul Conroy, who was serving with Colvin and French journalists, Edith Bouvier, injured in the attack.
Conroy's wife on Monday urged the British Foreign Office, to consider the decision that they would not send troops to rescue her husband, because the mission was deemed too dangerous.
"I would love it if someone from the embassy, who said that they forget the protocol, I will continue and continue to urge them, even though I knew that it would never happen," said the wife of Conroy told BBC Radio 4.
"I had a fierce argument with a member of parliament, and he really made it clear to me, that it would never happen," he continued.
Britain has invited the Syrian ambassador to London on Thursday, to request that the Syrian government to facilitate repatriation of bodies of the journalists, and to provide medical treatment for Conroy
