Natural Causes? Seems fishy to me, too

This is definately a case where I think someone like Niki Tsongas should be rattling the cages trying to find out what happened.
The father of Ndururi Wachira, the soldier who died recently in Kuwait, got a final report saying that she had died of “natural causes.”
I would like to know what “natural causes” kills a healthy 19 year old woman.
From today’s Lowell Sun article:
“I have requested, in writing, to see the report from the investigation team,” he said. “I have more questions. She was not sitting by herself on the flight. Somebody must have seen something. You cannot just die like that without somebody seeing.”Ndururi, who was also born in Kenya, was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas as a member of the 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment. The day before leaving for Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, Ndururi phoned her mother from Rhode Island to say she would be leaving in the morning.
Wachira said his daughter did not have a pre-existing condition and “sounded fine,” during the phone conversation. For months, the only thing the family had to hang onto was word from the military that Ndururi died from a “non-combat-related illness.” He is hoping that somebody on the plane may have seen his daughter becoming ill and could help the investigation.
I hope this continues to be investigated until a more substantial report comes back to the family here in Dracut.
