WASHINGTON (AP) -- A third U.S. service member has been determined to have been electrocuted in a shower in Iraq, The Associated Press has learned.
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class David A. Cedergren, 25, of Saint Paul, Minn., died Sept. 11, 2004, while showering. His family was told he died of natural causes.
Late last year, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology changed the manner of Cedergren's death to "accidental," caused by electrocution and inflammation of the heart.
A Naval Criminal Investigative Service spokesman says his agency is investigating.
Cedergren's death is also part of a review by the Pentagon's Inspector General.
