Chapelle was not killed by landmine. she was killed when on patrol with a marine platoon, the lieutenant in front of her kicked a tripwire boobytrap consisting of a mortar shell with a hand grenade attached to the top of it. a piece of shrapnel hit her in the neck, (which you can see in the photo)and died soon after - hence the impromptu medical attention and photo opportunity. I'd put this in but have no cites and am no good at editing.

When captured in [[Hungary]] she supposedly had a [[minox]] [[spy camera]] and plenty of film taped to her body. This, combined with her involvement with the [[Sea Swallows]], the American censorship of her Vietnam work and other indications, has caused many to question Chapelle's links with intelligence services. Anyone with a good reference on this? --<font color="blue" typeface="Arial"><b>[[User:Rxnd|rxnd]]</b> ([[User talk:Rxnd|talk]])</font> 02:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
