Montgomery (AP) - Military officials say a Cullman County marine who was killed in his barracks in Iraq last week was accidentally shot to death.

Corporal Adam Fales was killed in his barracks in Fallujah on December 16th. The Department of Defense (website) initially said Fales was killed by a "non-hostile" gunshot, a shot his family said was fired to his head while he slept.

A spokeswoman for the Marine Corps base in Cherry Point, North Carolina, said yesterday -- quote -- "initial indications are that it was an accidental death."

She declined to elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation into Fales' death.
