Kerbal orbital rescue mission issue

[Berkyjay]

I tried performing this contract where I had to rescue a Kerbal stranded in orbit.  Unfortunately when I got there I wasn't able to transfer him to my vessel.  I eventually gave up[ and left him floating in space (outside of his little cockpit).  So a few Kerbin days later I start getting messages that this Kerbal had died of dehydration.  But there must be some bug because the message won't go away and now I can't do time accelerations.  So right now I'm pretty much stuck with my game.  Even if I go back to a previous save, this Kerbal will eventually die.  So I'm hoping that there is some way I can edit the game file and remove this guy from the saved game.

first guess
you need to visit the dead kerbal for the game to write him off

sugestion
go back in time build a heatshield+clew+parachutes and get the part including the kerbal down

I was able to figure out a fix.  In the tracking station it showed the poor little guy in orbit.  I was able to terminate him from there.
