http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilawar_(torture_victim)

"The findings of Mr. Dilawar's autopsy were succinct.<3> A death certificate for Dilawar, aged 22, from Yakubi in eastern Afghanistan, and signed by Major Elizabeth Rouse, pathologist with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington DC, states that the cause of death was "blunt-force injuries to lower extremities complicating coronary artery disease".<4>

It was found that at the time of Dilawar's death, the injured muscles in his legs had become "pulpified."

According to the death certificate shown in the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side, the box marked Homicide had been checked as the ultimate cause of death. Despite this, the military publicly claimed that Dilawar had died from natural causes."
