5. "died of injuries sustained of a non-combat incident"

Add this to the "hard landing."

Read some time ago that "non-combat incidents" usually were caused by Humvees going like a bat out of hell to avoid IEDs planted along the roads, then veering out of control and rolling over.

Just a routine traffic accident to the military :sarcasm:
