Is it any wonder that DU is off the radar with most of the seriously
deskbound in the military?
The press release below appears to announce death by natural causes before
the autopsy is complete.
Don't get me wrong here, I don't believe this man died of DU exposure - - -

WASHINGTON, March 7, 2006 - A detainee died today of natural causes at Camp
Bucca, Iraq, and coalition forces killed two suspected terrorists during
combat operations near Baghdad March 5, military officials reported.
Camp Bucca guards were notified about an unconscious 36 year-old male
security detainee, and medical staff immediately began procedures to revive
the man. He went into cardiac arrest while in the intensive care unit and
died after all efforts to resuscitate him failed, officials said.
His remains will be transferred to family members upon completion of an
autopsy.
In other news, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers killed two terrorists
during combat operations southeast of Baghdad March 5.
The terrorists fired a mortar at 1st Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th
Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division soldiers, who then engaged and
killed the terrorists, officials said.
The location from where the terrorists attacked the soldiers has also been
the origin of six 82 mm mortar attacks on the Salman Pak region over the
last seven days, military officials said.
