Autopsy Examination Report; Death Certificate
Detainee was found unresponsive restrained in his cell. Death was due to
blunt force injuries to lower extremities complicating coronary artery
disease.Contusions and abrasions on forehead, nose, head, behind ear,
neck, abdomen, buttock, elbow, thigh, knee, foot, toe, hemorrhage on rib
area and leg. Detainee died of blunt force injuries to lower extremities,
complicating underlying coronary artery disease. The blunt force injuries
to the legs resulted in extensive muscle damage, muscle necrosis and
rhabomyolysis. Electrolyte disturbances primarily hyperkalemia (elevated
blood potassium level) and metabolic acidosis can occur within hours of
muscle damage. Massive sodium and water shifts occur, resulting in
hypovolemic shock and casodilatation and later, acute renal failure. The
decedent's underlying coronary artery disease would compromise his ability
to tolerate the electrolyte and fluid abnormalities, and his underlying
malnutrition and likely dehydration would further exacerbate the effects
of the muscle damage.
The manner of death is homicide. 12/10/2002 A02-95 (Landstuhl R.M.C.
Autopsy Number) AFIP number: 285913

on knees, left fingers and encircling to left wrist. Lacerations and
superficial cuts, right 4th and 5th fingers. Also, blunt force injuries,
predominantly recent contusions (bruises) on the torso and lower
extremities. Abrasions on left wrist are consistent with use of
restraints. No evidence of defense injuries or natural disease. Manner of
death is homicide. DOD 003329 refers to this case as "strangulation, found
outside isolation unit." 6/6/2003 A03-51

Final Autopsy Report; Death Certificate
Iraqi National male was captured by Navy Seal Team #7 and resisted
apprehension. External injuries including multiple contusions are
consistent with injuries sustained during apprehension. Fractures of the
ribs and a contusion of the left lung imply significant blunt force
injuries of the thorax and likely resulted in impaired respiration.
Ligature marks of the wrists and ankles. Remote gunshot would of torso. No
significant natural diseases identified. According to investigating
agents, during interrogation of the detainee, a hood made of synthetic
material was placed over the head and neck of the detainee. Cause of
