[QUOTE="HFS, post: 4297409, member: 8862"] Took his own life the L.A. coroner ruled. "Wright gained nationwide notoriety as a writer when he embedded himself with the US Marine Corps’ 1st Reconnaissance Battalion as they helped spearhead the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He spent two months with the battalion as they pushed toward Baghdad, gaining the Marines’ trust during combat operations and providing a detailed firsthand account of their struggles in the active war zone. Wright’s experience led to the release of a three-part series for Rolling Stone titled “The Killer Elite” upon his return from Iraq, which earned him the National Magazine Award for Excellence in Reporting in 2004. The success of his articles led him to expand the series into the critically acclaimed book 'Generation Kill' that same year."
