FILE - In this file photo released by the Egyptian Presidency Monday, July 1, 2013, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, right, meets with Prime Minister Hesham Kandil, center, and Egyptian Minister of Defense, Lt. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, left in Cairo, Egypt. “Over my dead body!” Mohammed Morsi told his army chief who came to him asking the Islamist president to step down on his own and not resist a military ultimatum and the demands of giant crowds out in the streets. Morsi found himself isolated, with trusted aides abandoning him, and in the end, the ring of Presidential Guards protecting him simply stepped away to allow the military to take him under its custody, according to army, security and Brotherhood officials giving The Associated Press an account of his last hours.
