FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — The U.S. Army Special Operations Command was to release information Saturday about the death of Pat Tillman, who walked away from a multimillion-dollar NFL contract to fight for his country.
Tillman, who left the Arizona Cardinals to join the Army, died April 22 in Afghanistan.
Lt. Gen. Philip R. Kensinger, USASOC's commanding general, was to issue a statement about a completed military investigation into the circumstances of Tillman's death, the Army said in a statement released late Friday.
Tillman, 27, died in a firefight near the Pakistan border as he was leading his team to help comrades caught in an ambush. Until now, the Army has given few details about his death, saying he was fatally shot while fighting "without regard for his personal safety."
Tillman was assigned to A Company, 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and was based in Fort Lewis, Wash.
The military posthumously promoted Tillman, a member of the Army's elite Ranger unit, from specialist to corporal. He also was awarded a Purple Heart and Silver Star.
He never publicly offered reasons for joining the Army, but friends said the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, affected him deeply.
