By no means is this a complete list. Such deaths are continuing to occur with
no clear indication that the military leadership will limit the availability of
antipsychotics, antidepressants or prescription "polypharmacy" which can never
be scientific, safe or effective. I continue to find 'new' deaths every time I
have a spare hour or two to begin Googling again.
I call to the readers attention the posting of Leland Tyrone (#267) which the
editor of The Gazette tells us was altered at the military's request. How common
or routine are such alterations. How many of these probable SCDs have been
called "suicides"? How many accidental or other multiple drug toxicities or
overdoses when they are none of these things?
There can be no rational or scientific change of psychiatric drug policy in the
US military until such time as there has been a full acknowledgement and
explanation of these and all similar deaths in the military-FAB

Lejeune, N.C. In the case of Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Bachus, it is far from

diagnosis of PTSD, and starting in 2005, doctors put him on a regimen that
included Celexa for depression, Klonopin for anxiety and Risperdal, an
antipsychotic. In 2006, after a period of stability, a military doctor
discontinued his medications. But six months later, Bachus asked to be put on
them again.[found dead probable on antidepressant and antipsychotic. According
to a detailed autopsy report, his depression and anxiety worsened in late 2006.
Yet for unexplained reasons, he was allowed to deploy to Iraq for a second time
in early 2007. But when his commanders discovered that he was on psychiatric
medications, he was sent home after just a few months, records show.In early
March 2008, a military doctor began giving him an opiate painkiller for his
back. A few days later, Bachus, 38, called his wife, who was living in Ohio. He
sounded delusional, she told investigators later, but not suicidal."You know,
babe, I am really tired, and I don't think I'll have any problems falling asleep
tonight," he told her. He was found dead in his on-base quarters in North
Carolina nearly three days later.According to the autopsy report, Bachus had in
his system two antidepressants, the opiates oxymorphone and oxycodone, and
Ativan for anxiety. The delirium he experienced in his final days was "most
likely due to the interaction of his medications," the report said.Nearly 30
prescription pill bottles were found at the scene, most of them recently
prescribed, according to the report. [on Risperdal, PROBABLE SCD]

Tramaine, the doctor who did the autopsy. He informed me that Chris died from
being on too many meds, as well as meds that should not have been mixed. He told
me that Chris lost consciousness and his heart stopped. So it is as I suspected
all along. I just knew he passed due to his meds. However, the report is
claiming it was an accident because Chris had had a spritzer that day at the
park so they are making out that the mixture of drugs with the alcohol, the
temperature at the park that day, as well as Chris being sick from the new med
he had just started is what caused his untimely passing. They just don't want to
take responsibility that they caused this. I would be honored to have Chris
added to the list for the Senator. Thank you so much for all your efforts and

Brittany Levine Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES - Underscoring the deep bond among
service members and their families, a 23-year-old Iraq war veteran has received
a kidney from a fellow Marine left brain-dead after a training accident,
squeezing what is normally a five-year wait into two days.As Sgt. Jacob Chadwick
prepared to leave the San Diego hospital Aug. 11, hundreds of police cars and
motorcycles escorted 2nd Lt. Patrick Wayland's casket through his hometown of
Midland, Texas, where thousands lined the streets waving American flags."Patrick
took an oath to serve his country. Few people are able to do that," said
Wayland's friend, 2nd Lt. John Silvestro. "Patrick, he would consider himself
lucky to serve not only his country, but his fellow Marine."Staff at the
University of California-San Diego Medical Center said they were surprised by
the extra effort one family put in to help a stranger."I've been doing this for
20 years and have never seen anything like it," said David Lewino, a transplant
coordinator. "That whole sense of Marine family - you hear about it, but when
you see it firsthand, you really believe it."By having a kidney designated to
him, Chadwick was able to get off the waiting list.In October, Chadwick had an
appointment to get his kidneys checked after experiencing severe headaches and
dizzy spells. But that was the day his daughter, Ella Marie, was born. Chadwick
put off going to the doctor, trying to enjoy his time with Ella.On Aug. 1,
Wayland suffered cardiac arrest during a swimming exercise at Naval Air Station
Pensacola in Florida. The 24-year-old Marine, the one friends called "Superman,"
would spend the next week in the hospital, his brain swelling. His family waited
for a miracle. Doctors pronounced Wayland brain-dead Aug. 5."I know we have a
long and hard road in front of us," his father, David Wayland, wrote in an
online journal after he learned of his son's condition. "But carry Patrick in
your heart, and take comfort in knowing that he is leading God's Army in Heaven

86. This is a study]By Penni Crabtree UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER May 3, 2003 The
controversial herbal stimulant ephedra was linked to half the heat-related
illnesses reported at Camp Pendleton in 2000 - although only 7 percent of
Marines used the substance on a daily basis, a military study found. The study,
based on a survey and medical data from the First Marine Division, also cites
the ephedra-related death from a cerebral hemorrhage of an unidentified service
member at the Point Loma Naval Submarine Base. The military study is the latest
to take aim at dietary supplements that contain the amphetamine-like herb. The
products, made by companies such as San Diego's Metabolife International, have
been linked to hundreds of deaths, serious injuries and side effects. Earlier
this week, a General Accounting Office review of thousands of consumer health
complaints about Metabolife's best-selling Metabolife 356 cited 92 serious
complaints, including five deaths, 18 heart attacks, 26 strokes and 43 seizures.
The Camp Pendleton study, conducted by Capt. Eric C. McDonald, a surgeon in the
First Marine Division, has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
However, the study was part of the research considered by the Navy's Surgeon
General when a decision was made in February 2001 to pull ephedra products from
Marine bases.[[[[[[[surely they know how to diagnose scd]]]]]]]

Mass. (WWLP) - Two bodies were found on the campus of the VA Medical Center in
Leeds in the last 24 hours. Both state and local police are investigating this
situation with the district attorney's office.The two men were found dead in the
Soldier On Homeless Shelter, which is on the campus of the VA Medical Center.
One body was found at 10:30 Tuesday night. The second body was found at 8:20
Wednesday morning. According to the Northwestern District Attorney's office, the
cause of death will not be known until autopsy and a toxicology report is done,
but they did confirm that these were non-violent deaths and there was no foul
play involved. We do not know the ages of the men, but it is likely that they
are veterans because that is who this shelter serves. The VA Medical Center is a
federally owned and operated facility for veterans. But, Soldier On is a non
profit organization that leases this property from the federal government. Since
this happened on federal property, the district attorney's office is being
particularly careful with this investigation.[[[[[[[further info needed found 2
