It was one of the most disturbing war crimes to emerge from the brutal conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan: U.S. Army Pfc. Steven Dale Green raped and killed a 14-year-old Iraqi girl in 2006 after shooting and killing her parents and younger sister. Then he and his combat buddies from a nearby U.S. Army checkpoint set the girl's corpse on fire.

Green, 28, serving five life sentences, apparently has committed suicide eight years after the crimes. He was found hanging in his cell at the federal maximum security prison in Tucson, Ariz., last week and died Saturday, prison officials announced Tuesday.

They said Green's death was being investigated as an apparent suicide.

Asked why authorities had waited this long to announce his death, prison spokesman John Stahley said the prison's administrative staff was off during the three-day Presidents Day weekend. He said Green's family was notified Saturday.

Green was a 19-year-old college dropout when he joined the Army and deployed to Iraq. At a traffic checkpoint near the Iraqi town of Mahmoudiya, he and fellow soldiers abused alcohol and drugs and came up with a plan to have sex with the Iraqi girl, Abeer Kassem Hamza Janabi, according to court testimony. They had watched her from the checkpoint as she performed household chores.

Green did not testify at his trial, but during his sentencing in 2009 he apologized for the crimes and said he expected to face "God's justice" when he died. Federal prosecutors had sought the death sentence, but a jury instead sentenced him to five life terms.
