Biography
American combat death, Lance Corporal Arredondo was on his second tour of duty when he was fatally shot in the head by hostile fire in Najaf, Iraq on August 25, 2004. He had just turned 20 years old. When Marines delivered the news to his father Carlos Arredondo, the grief-stricken man climbed inside the Marines’ parked military van with a tank of propane gas and a torch, lighting himself on fire and suffering severe burns. He later said he wasn’t trying to commit suicide but acted mindlessly out of grief at the news.
