User blog comment:JackfieldsA113/Can Loyal Squad Members Die?/@comment-95.8.191.180-20110611180250

I found out that poor specialist selection can cause a loyal team member to die as well. I selected Thane to keep the biotic barrier and Thane screwed up at the last of the mission and it caused Garrus to be taken away by the seekers, even though all my crew members were loyal.
