The cameraman who became the fourth American to contract the deadly Ebola virus is the adopted son of a Buddhist guru who married his mother, a British upper-class woman, when she was just 16.
Ashoka Mukpo, 33, from Providence, Rhode Island, was infected with Ebola while working for NBC in Liberia's capital Monrovia.
Mukpo is recognized as a 'tulku' in Tibetan Buddhist culture, a reincarnation of a religious teacher, and his adoptive father worked as a mediation guru for David Bowie in the 1960s.
Mukpo comes from a colourful family. His British mother Lady Diana Judith Mukpo was born Diana Pybus, the daughter of a wealthy barrister.
She attended Benenden School, an all-girl's boarding school in Kent where she is thought to have been a contemporary of Princess Anne and Baroness Manningham-Buller, former Director General of MI5.
