Area Guardsman dies en route from Iraq to Germany

<<< Neusche died from symptoms similar to pneumonia as the ambulance took him to a hospital in Hamburg, Germany, Collins said.

The details are sketchy at best, said Neusche's aunt, Candace Walden.

"They told us that on June 30 that he became sick, and it was very quick," Walden said. Neusche became ill in at a combat hospital in Baghdad. He arrived sick with respiratory failure in Germany on July 5.

"When they first called, they said it was respiratory failure, then pneumonia, then pneumonia and toxins. They were trying to determine what the toxins were and were trying to stabilize him and ship him to the hospital," Walden said.

When his kidneys failed, they took him to Hamburg when he died in the ambulance.

Neusche was involved in cross country in high school. He was in the spirit band and went to Army basic training between his junior and senior year of high school. <<<

5. It does seem to resemble SARS--my sister had it

She recovered, very slowly. The onset is quite sudden and dramatic. But the symptoms mimic other things, too. We don't have any real information, but there was a story floating around last week that there were fears of SARS in Germany. I will try to find it.

4. IMO the pentagon's inconsistency in reporting cause of death...

Could become a major issue and effect dimson's numbers and eventually effect the '04 elections. This could also bring the soldiers to look more closely at the possible corruption of their electronic voting system. The reporting has worsened since the new Centcom leader came on board IMO.
