'''Pat Tillman''' was a U.S. soldier whose death in Iraq is controversial. His parents, along with a medical examiner, suspected murder, but after three years of investigations his death was ruled a "[[friendly fire]]" incident.
'''Pat Tillman''' was a U.S. soldier whose death in Iraq is controversial. His parents, along with a medical examiner, suspected murder, but after three years of investigations his death was ruled a "[[friendly fire]]" incident.
The incident attracted extra media attention because the soldier had been a well-known professional athlete, and also because his death occurred around the time of the [[Abu Ghraib incident]].

Col. Hans Bush, chief of public affairs for the Army Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37679-2004Dec5_2.html (Washington Post)] </ref>
