Detainee Dies of Apparent Natural Causes (Camp Bucca)
http://www.cjtf7.com/media-information/January/050107g.htm

Baghdad – A security detainee died Wednesday afternoon at the Camp Bucca internment facility of what appears to be natural causes. An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.

Detainees notified the guards at approximately 2:40 p.m. that the individual appeared to be suffering a medical problem. A medic immediately provided life-saving first aid for what appeared to be cardiac arrest. The detainee was immediately transferred to the Internment Facility Aid Station, where the medical staff continued life-saving measures, which failed to revive him. An attending physician pronounced him dead shortly after 3 p.m. at the aid station.

The deceased is a 31-year-old male, who had been held as an internee since August 2004 as a threat to the security of Iraq. He was not being treated for any medical conditions.

An investigation was initiated to determine the precise cause of death, which is standing procedure for all detainees who die while in custody of the Multi-National Force.

1. It's pretty normal for 31 year olds to die of "natural causes" I guess.
I wonder if he was in a "stress position" or had adequate nutrition during his stay. Maybe these are details that we'll never know...

5. Beaten to death with flashlights: that counts as "natural causes" ...
... under Gonzales' new medical theory.

3. Same thing said of the guy...
... who was beaten until a neck bone protruded into his windpipe and then was dragged around by his neck.

Don't hold your breath on the autopsy results.... *sigh*
