Maybe he was really captured by the british special forces and handed over to the kurds, then saying hes dead, since it wouldn't be good to say "hey, we got Chemical Ali and began torturing him, against the rules of geneva convention"
Just easier to put special forces on the business and tell 'em to ship him to closest kurd outpost

Whos gonna be questioning his body's whereabouts anyway, when theres 3000 other corpses around?
