      DETAINEE DIES AT CAMP BUCCA

      BAGHDAD, Iraq - A 51-year-old male security detainee at Camp Bucca died of 
      what appears to be natural causes at approximately 9 a.m., April 19. 

      Medics responded to one of the compounds where a detainee appeared to be 
      suffering from seizures. The detainee was quickly moved to the first aid 
      station where appropriate life-saving procedures failed to resuscitate 
      him. An attending physician at the aid station pronounced him dead at 9:40 
      a.m. 

      The detainee had been held at Camp Bucca since May of last year as a 
      threat to the security of Iraq. The remains will be transferred to the 
      family upon completion of an autopsy. This is standing procedure for all 
      detainees who die while in custody of the Multi-National Force.

      Though the detainee's death appears to be from natural causes, as a normal 
      course of action an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the 
      death will be conducted. 

      Camp Bucca is located in the southeastern region of Iraq and holds more 
      than 6,000 detainees.
