The Story of Raheel Siddiqui's Death

The Siddiquis lodged a civil suit suing the federal government for their son's death. Their lawyer was arguing that the Marines had been negligent when recruiting Raheel, in failing to tell him there had been allegations of abuse against Muslim recruits at Paris Island. A coroner had marked his cause of death as suicide, but his family thought it should be listed as undetermined. The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed due to a federal precedent that prevents the US government from being sued for harm to military personnel.
