This is the sworn statement of an Army medic who also served as a detainee guard at the detention cells once or twice a week". The medic states that there were two brothers and a sister in custody in the detention area where he stood guard. He states he recalled that one of the brothers was complaining of being cold, was provided a blanket, but subsequently died. The medic is not sure of the cause of death, but does know it was not due to abuse or neglect. "One of the brother's cried a lot but the sisters were fine". When talking about one of the brothers the statement says "I don't recall him appearing severely beat up. Someone said he defecated on himself but that wasn't unusual with detainees".
