July 22, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 135
CID investigation into the manner of death of detainee Fathel Ibrahim Mahmood at the Baghdad, Central Confinement Facility, Abu Ghraib, Iraq. Mr. Mahmood experienced chest pains and was discovered unresponsive when medical personnel arrived at his cell. He was pronounced dead soon after. There was no autopsy conducted or investigation at the scene of the incident. Prior to the incident, detainee had complained of pains in his chest and shortness of breath and was given medical attention and medication by Army medics. The CID report acknowledges that there is the possibility of medical negligence, but determines that there were no criminal acts committed. An earlier draft of the report lists cause of death as cardio and pulmonary arrest, but the final report states that the cause of death is undetermined.
