“I am very sorry for what happened,” Gantz told reporters. “Currently we do not know what was the direct cause of Shireen's death. We are very decisive to have a full-scale investigation of this process, and we hope to get pal cooperation on this issue. Without the report of the pathological findings and the forensic findings, it would be very hard for us to find out what happened on the ground.”

“We investigated all the troops that were part of the operation," he added. “So far, we don't have any final conclusion.” (AP)
