Remember this photo? Sadly this soldier died from PTSD related huffing incident in North Carolina. He was never the same after his war experience and his friends could not help him. May he now find peace.

A US army medic who became a symbol of American heroism and integrity in the Iraq war has died of an apparent drugs overdose.

The premature death of Joseph Dwyer at the age of 31 has highlighted the neglect many American veterans believe they face once they return home.

He was made famous by a photograph, taken in March 2003 during the first week of the war, in which he is seen running to a makeshift hospital.

In his arms, the soldier was cradling an injured Iraqi boy who he had rescued from crossfire.
