BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A Fort Campbell soldier was found dead Sunday in a barracks and military officials are investigating his death. The news comes a day after it was reported that another Campbell soldier died in a Western Kentucky University dorm room after falling out of bed and hitting his head on the floor, according to a coroner.
Fort Campbell spokeswoman Cathy Gramling said 22-year-old Pvt. Matthew Nicholson, assigned to the 101st Airborne Division’s 2nd Brigade, currently deployed to Iraq, was found by another soldier Sunday. Nicholson got national media attention when he was charged for intervening in a fight with a man he thought was assaulting two women in Modesto, Calif.
He was arrested and jailed in September, but prosecutors later dropped charges against him.
In a separate incident, Pvt. Lank Graves, 20, of Glasgow, was pronounced dead Sunday morning in Barnes-Campbell Hall. Warren County Coroner Kevin Kirby said Graves rolled off a bed and struck his head on the floor.
Kirby said he expects a preliminary autopsy report by Tuesday.
He said he hasn’t ruled out drugs or alcohol as a factor in Graves’ death, pending a toxicology report.
Graves was visiting a friend for the weekend, Kirby said.
