Good use of passive voice. "Died." Hmm.
Just for balance, Kerrey apparently went in, and murdered somewhere around 20 unarmed women and kids, all by their lonesome, with no actual armed enemy even around. He wrote it up as "20 dead Cong." He was then awarded his Medal, for that killing, based on his own writeup. He kept this secret for years, through many political campaigns, and only came clean when he learned that Time was about to publish it's own story in a week. For this act, top Dems called him courageous for admitting to "old news".
(ETA - my memory is partially faulty. He was awarded a Bronze for that episode. Later, he won the MoH for a different feat.)
