- Riadh Mohammed Abd Al Razak, a 52 year-old Iraqi civilian, collapsed while speaking to other detainees while in U.S. custody at the Baghdad Central Confinement Facility in Abu Ghraib, Iraq. Resuscitative efforts were unsuccessful. (There is some inconsistency in the autopsy report which also reports under the heading "History" that Mr. Razak was found dead in bed. Other sources corroborate that Mr. Razak collapsed while speaking with other detainees.) The autopsy report concludes that the cause of death was atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with severe coronary artery disease and a healed myocardial infraction (a previous heart attack), extensively involving the left ventricle. The manner of death was deemed to be natural.
