"Following multiple and exhaustive reviews, the evidence supports the finding that Peralta was likely hit by 'friendly fire,'" the Marine Corps said Wednesday in a press release. "This finding had no bearing on the decision to award the Navy Cross medal."
One I was in Fallujha during this incident and have read other reports and talked with Marines who were there that once they fellback from the house without their fallen comrade they poured an unbelievable amount of fire into the house thinking that he was already dead. I think that could explain why he may have had some friendly rounds in him. And if it was witnessed that he pulled the grenade into his body it's hard to argue that that was not the cause of death... Hero in my book no matter what.
RIP
