KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Canadian military officials announced the "non-combat" death of a Canadian soldier Tuesday, bringing to 80 the number of soldiers who have died in Afghanistan since the first troops arrived in early 2002. One diplomat has also died.

Bombardier Jeremie Ouellet, 22, was part of the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery CFB Shilo in Manitoba, and was found in a room at the Kandahar Airfield, said Brig.-Gen Guy Laroche. Ouellet was a native of Matane, Que.

"The soldier's death is not related to combat," said Laroche, saying no other information would be released, but the death is under investigation.
