      Detainee Dies of Apparent Natural Causes

      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. 

      Upon completion of the autopsy, the remains will be transferred to the 
      Iraqi government and returned to the family.
