The Army has identified the soldier whose body was found Tuesday at a training area on Fort Hood, Texas.

Spc. Donald James Scott, 28, of Boyceville, Wis., was a biomedical equipment specialist with 1st Medical Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary).

The cause of death was not reported, and the incident is still under investigation.

Scott’s body was found in a training area, though no training was taking place in the area at the time the body was found, according to brigade spokesman Maj. Raul Marquez.

Scott joined the Army in November 1999 and had been assigned to the 582nd Medical Logistics Company, 61st Multifunctional Medical Battalion, since December 2005, according to an Army news release. He had deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003.
