Fadel managed to reach the riverbank, but claims that he saw Hassoun drown and that the family later retrieved and buried the body. The battalion commander of the four soldiers, Lt. Col. Nate Sassaman, was reprimanded this year for impeding investigators.

He received a prison term of six months and a reduction in rank.
