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.
