Another BDR man dies of cardiac arrest
2009-08-10
[Bangla Daily Star] Another Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) member died of cardiac arrest yesterday at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), raising the number of deaths to 36 since the BDR mutiny.
They simply must alter the hospital menu to dishes higher in fruits and vegetables, and lower in red meat and saturated fats. The health of the condemned men is at stake!
Lance Nayek Nawab Ali, 41, of Madaripur, who served at the Kushtia sector headquarters, died of cardiac arrest in the afternoon, said BDR Public Relations Officer Muhammad Muhsin Reza. He said Nawab Ali fell sick on July 28 at the Kushtia sector headquarters. He was taken to the BDR hospital at Pilkhana in the capital on August 6. As his condition deteriorated on Saturday night, he was shifted to DMCH, said the BDR official.

A total of 35 BDR men have died of various causes since the mutiny at the BDR headquarters. Some of them died of heart attack while a few others committed suicide.
But none of a superfluity of broken bones and damaged internal organs, thank goodness, because that would be a Bad Thing.

#2  I think a lot of this is related to stress - wondering whether you're going to be the next one hustled off to jail for participating in the mutiny, or of knowing about it and saying nothing. Of course, poor diet and over-work probably contribute. Most third-world militaries treat their members more like slaves than soldiers.

#1  BDR members must not be dues paying empowered minority, otherwise UN sponsered NGO's would be wailing and gnashing their collective teeth over the alledged human rights violations.

Jes' sayin'. Cuz it seems awfully strange.
