I was wondering exactly what killed Mobuto.

The flood attack, and take people away to be infected or they kill and leave the body as seen in a number of levels, one that springs to mind is in the Maw after cryo B room where the overshield is located next to the body of the elites.

But Mobuto's body was a mess. To me this makes no sense. They would want to leave those they attack in a condition that they could†later be†used. So what went on?

Well Master Chief was brought up to be a soldier.....take orders... ask few questions. Mobuto was just a guy. Perhaps he wasn't happy with GS being so vague and became uncooperative, and GS attacked him with his Sentinels. Those lasers have got to be powerful enough to eat away at the armour and flesh and bone etc. That would explain why the body was in such bad condition.

While that is an intriguing explanation of his death, it seems that had he been killed with the Sentinel's lasers, comments would have been made of the burnt flesh or its odor which is commonly found elsewhere in association with the use of their weapons. 'Mangled' seems to imply the Flood's usual zeal and flagrant tentacle beatings...
