The soldier was found by a service member who went into his room to check on him around 10:20 a.m., when he found him unresponsive, according to Shaun Herron, a public affairs specialist with the US Army.
The service member called 9-1-1, bringing emergency services to the scene. Responders tried reviving the soldier, but he was unresponsive to any lifesaving measures and pronounced dead at 10:33 a.m., Herron said.
There were no indications of self harm or foul play, according to Herron. Further details were expected to be released imminently.
