Family still in dark on son’s death
Published Sunday, January 27, 2008
CADET (AP) - More than a month after Sgt. Austin David Pratt died in Iraq, his family in Missouri still knows little about the circumstances that led to his death.
Pratt, of Cadet, died Dec. 15 in Baghdad, four days before he would have turned 23. At the time of his death, the Army said only that it was not combat-related. Since then, the Army has said his death is under investigation.
Pratt’s parents, Austin and Monica Pratt, recently issued a statement to the Park Hills Daily Journal that read: "The investigation into the death of our son, Sgt. Austin D. Pratt, is still on going. There is not much we can tell anyone. All we know is his death was an accident and he did not die by means of malice. Hopefully soon we will be informed of what happened at the time of his death."

It's been over a month since Pratt died. What's taking so long on telling the family how it happened? How many other families are left waiting for answers too?
