EVACUATED DETAINEE DIES AT FIELD HOSPITAL

BAGHDAD, Iraq – A detainee who was medically evacuated to the 115th Field Hospital died April 4 at approximately 6 p.m. from gunshot wounds he received two weeks ago during an attack on Coalition Forces.

Efforts to save the detainee’s life ended when he died as a result of his wounds.

The remains will be transferred to the Iraqi government and returned to the family upon completion of an autopsy. This is standing procedure for all detainees who die while in custody of the Multi-National Force.

The incident is currently under investigation.

....omg.... If Centcom is now releasing this "stuff"....FUBAR!

???

On edit: Trust the Cabal to even turn "autopsy" into its opposite: scrubbing evidence.

I get updates like this about every one of our soldiers who are evacuated after being wounded.

even DUers are not paying attention to Iraq these days... :(

you're right - it is way too weird for them to be listing detainee casualties - this smells of a CYA memo

wonder what the autopsy will show and really where this guy was shot - if he was wounded, why was he not taken first for treatment before being sent to "prison"?

A) It's too late to start this now.

B) With the abuse history who's going to believe it?

I thought we were killing Iraqi's on the battle field all the time. Why single this one out?

he was taken to a prison?

I can only imagine what the real circumstances are to this person's death... :scared:

This release certainly raises more questions than it answers.

:shrug:

and just now taken to a field hospital? Are they leaving something out or is this just blatant negligence?

yes... the truth!
