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.
