Detainees brought Fawaz Badaa Najem's body to gate at Abu Ghraib during the night after hearing him gasping. He had been otherwise well and had no medical history. The investigation established probable cause to believe that detainee Najem died after being found unresponsive on his cot at night at Abu Ghraib. The cause and manner of death were found to be undetermined after an autopsy was conducted. CID personnel saw no signs of trauma or injury upon initial notification (although autopsy noted small bruises in abdominal area and left arm (p. 14)). Review of medical records found no possible contributors to Najem's death. Najem received emergency care consistent with that of a cardiac arrest. An email included in the report instructs the investigators to "dig up what he was doing, subjected to re: interrogations, etc the days prior to his death" (p. 20). Guards who were interviewed stated that they did not recall any anusual activity by Najem (p. 25). No interviews of camp detainees were conducted except with the initial witness. Investigation closed following determination that "all leads were pursued."

NAJEM's death, indicate he received medication and treatment consistent with someone having cardiac arrest. According to the records', NAJEM received no units of blood or blood transfusions.
AGENT'S COMMENT: A crime scene examination was not conducted of the death scene due to
officer safety concerns and operational limitations. The camp contained over 200 agitated
detainees and an insufficient number of Military Police to relocate and guard the detainees,
therefore the death scene examination could not be conducted without placing the agents in harms
way. No canvass interviews were conducted of the camp detainees. The more reliable and less
hostile Camp Chief and initial witness detainee were interviewed. The remaining detainees were
very hostile towards American investigators.
