| DOD 003128 - DOD 003133; DOD003315 | Autopsy Examination Report; Death Certificate | Other Detainees brought Iraqi male detainee to gate. He had apparently complained of chest pain during his detention. He appeared to have been dead for some time. Cause of Death: Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Manner of death: Natural. Abrasions on right knee and left ankle. Blockages in blood vessels supplying blodd to the heart and base of brain. No significant injuries. | 8/11/2003 | 03-366 | Abu Ghraib | Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease | Natural |
| DOD 003140 - DOD 003145; DOD003317 | Autopsy Examination Report; Death Certificate | Prisoner died of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Significant findings of the autopsy included an enlarged heart and significant narrowing of one of the arteries supplying blood to the heart. The lungs, liver and spleen were congested most likely due to inadequate pumping of the heart. An unrelated finding was a benign blood vessel tumor in the liver that did not contribute to the death. No internal or external trauma. DOD 003326 refers to case with notation "Taken to medics gasping for air." | 8/20/2003 | 03-369 | Abu Ghraib | Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease | Natural |
| DOD 003146 - DOD003155; DOD003299 | Final Examination of Postmortem Examination; Death Certificate | Multiple blunt force injuries. Abrasion in upper right forehead. Abrasion on right lower forehead above eyebrow. Multiple contusions on right cheek and lower nose, left upper forehead, back of head. Abrasions on chest, lower costal margin. Contusions on arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, upper inner arm, groin, inner thigh, right back of knee and calf, left calf, left lower leg.

| DOD003156 - DOD 003163; DOD 003296 - 003297 | 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.
