    Two servicemembers have died in Iraq since yesterday, and officials have identified earlier casualties.

    A sailor assigned to Multinational Corps Iraq died around 2:15 p.m. today in Baghdad. Officials said the incident does not appear to be due to enemy action and is under investigation.

    A servicemember assigned to 43rd Military Police Brigade was killed in action north of Baghdad yesterday. Officials did not identify the individual's branch of service.

    The names of the deceased servicemembers are being withheld pending next-of-kin notification.

    DoD officials have identified three soldiers reported killed earlier in Iraq and Afghanistan:

    • Army Sgt. David M. Hierholzer, 27, of Lewisburg, Tenn., died July 24 in Pesch, Afghanistan, of injuries suffered when his platoon encountered enemy small-arms fire.
