BAGHDAD — The U.S. military says an American soldier has died of a non-battle-related cause in Iraq.
A statement says the soldier was assigned to Multi-National Division-Baghdad, and died around 8 a.m. Tuesday.
The soldier’s name was withheld until the family could be notified.
A Multi-National Force-West soldier died Sunday of a non-combat-related cause. Further details have not been released. But the soldier’s division is responsible for an area west of Baghdad that has been an insurgent stronghold but has seen a dramatic drop in violence over the past year.
The military statement issued Monday says the incident is under investigation.
