like stated before. if it is not a direct result from the bad guys then it is classed as NON combat related. so vehicle role over, suicide, general accidents, drowning, friendly fire, then there is the common sicknesses too. meningitis, heart attack,

we had a guy changing a tire. a split ring wheel broke and shattered his face. he is very lucky to be alive, of coarse he doesn't look the same. he could have easily became one of those #'s

A lot are from vehicle rollovers, whatever the reason, however they do occur during combat missions, just not under direct enemy contact.


HDH
Heart attacks
Encephalitis
Being stupid and not clearing their weapon and shooting themselves
Being accidentally shot by someone who stupidly did not clear their weapon
Vehicle accident
Suicide
Asthma attacks
Heat stroke
Murder

You can die from a lot of these things anywhere, after all.

Anyone who doesn't die from enemy attacks like getting shot or IED is a noncombat death. People sometimes die in day to day accidents and it happens. These troops are doing jobs under a lot of stress and sometimes make mistakes and people get hurt or die. It happens to everyone though everyday in our daily lives.
