2. V/AL HANASHI WAS FOUND AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 ON 01JUN09,
UNRESPONSIVE ON THE FLOOR OF CELL NUMBER HU-TWO (2) WITHIN THE
BHU. JTF GTMO JOINT DETENTION GROUP (JDG) GUARD FORCE PERSONNEL
ENTERED THE CELL, SECURED V/AL HANASHI, PER STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES, AND REMOVED A LIGATURE FROM AROUND HIS NECK. JTF GTMO
JOINT MEDICAL GROUP (JMG) PERSONNEL ARRIVED AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN
THEIR ASSESSMENT OF V/AL HANASHI. MEDICAL PERSONNEL WERE ON
SCENE WITHIN SECONDS OF THE EMERGENCY BEING CALLED AS THEY ARE
STATIONED OUTSIDE OF THE CELL BLOCK. ONCE INITIAL ATTEMPTS MADE

TO REVIVE V/AL HANASHI WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO
THE DETENTION HOSPITAL LOCATED IN THE BUILDING ADJACENT TO THE
BHU. FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO REVIVE V/AL HANASHI WERE ALSO MET WITH
NEGATIVE RESULTS AND HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT 2254. THE REMAINS

OF V/AL HANASHI WERE SECURED BY THE JDG AND LATER TRANSPORTED TO
THE U.S. NAVAL HOSPITAL GTMO MORGUE WHERE THEY REMAINED UNDER

MC, ARMED FORCES INSTITUTE OF PATHOLOGY (AFIP), OFFICE OF THE
ARMED FORCES MEDICAL EXAMINER (OAFME), COMPLETED AN AUTOPSY
EXAMINATION OF V/AL HANASHI. NO DISCREPANCIES OR CRIMINALITY
WERE IDENTIFIED AT THE TIME OF AUTOPSY. THE CAUSE AND MODE OF
DEATH WERE PRELIMINARILY LISTED AS ASPHYXIA DUE TO LIGATURE

STRANGULATION AND SUICIDE, RESPECTIVELY. SUBSEQUENT WITNESS
INTERVIEWS OF JDG AND JMG PERSONNEL AND DEATH SCENE PROCESSING
HAVE FAILED TO IDENTIFY ANY SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING

V/AL HANASHI'S DEATH. V/AL HANASHI'S MEDICAL RECORD WAS REVIEWED
AND DOCUMENTED A HISTORY OF SUICIDAL IDEATIONS AND NUMEROUS PAST
SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. A FINAL AUTOPSY REPORT FROM OAFME DETERMINED

THE MANNER OF DEATH AS SUICIDE ^D LISTED THE CAUSE OF DEATH AS
ASPHYXIA DUE TO LIGATURE STRANGULATION. SEVERAL FORENSIC

EXAMINATIONS OF PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED EVIDENCE WERE COMPLETED BY
THE UNITED STATES ARMY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION LABORATORY
