New documents shed light on Tillmans death

SAN FRANCISCO - Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillmans forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL players death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described, a doctor who examined Tillmans body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.
The doctors whose names were blacked out said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.



Ultimately, the Pentagon did conduct a criminal investigation, and asked Tillmans comrades whether he was disliked by his men and whether they had any reason to believe he was deliberately killed. The Pentagon eventually ruled that Tillmans death at the hands of his comrades was a friendly-fire accident.



SNIP:

In more than four hours of questioning by the Pentagon inspector generals office in December 2006, Kensinger repeatedly contradicted other officers testimony, and sometimes his own. He said on some 70 occasions that he did not recall something.
At one point, he said: You've got me really scared about my brain right now. Im really having a problem.

Tillmans mother, Mary Tillman, who has long suggested that her son was deliberately killed by his comrades, said she is still looking for answers and looks forward to the congressional hearings next week.
