Another Non-combat death

DoD Identifies Army Casualty


The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Spc. Melvin L. Henley Jr., 26, of Jackson, Miss., died at Camp Striker in Baghdad on Nov. 21 of injuries suffered from non-combat related incident. He was assigned to the 603rd Aviation Support Battalion, 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.

The incident is under investigation.
It would be great if this family finds out what happened unlike so many other families. That won't happen unless the media in Jackson stay on the investigation. Again do not assume this was a suicide. We just don't know until reports come out. Check back for updates on this.
