VIRGINIA BEACH
Spc. Chris McCarthy joined the Army Reserve to help pay his tuition at Old Dominion University.
Duty sometimes interrupted his life after graduation.
In February, he volunteered for a six-month deployment to Ramadi as part of a task force helping to reconstruct the Iraqi city.
On Sunday, McCarthy was found in his barracks unconscious and without a pulse. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. McCarthy was 28.
Lt. Col. Philip Smith, public affairs officer for Joint Forces Command, said Tuesday that the cause of death has not been determined. An autopsy will be performed.
