Remains of Sgt. La David Johnson found weeks after his funeral
The gap in time led to questions about whether  Johnson  was killed in the assault and not found  or if  he  was taken away by the enemy.
According to the officials  a medical examination concluded that  Johnson  was shot as many as 18 times.
It is believed  he  died in the attack and there were no indications  he  was shot at close range  or had been bound or taken prisoner  as several media reports have suggested.
