ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Army has launched a criminal investigation into the death of a 25-year-old soldier whose body was found in his barracks at Fort Richardson.

Army officials say Spc. Blake A. Bronaugh of Wichita Falls, Texas, was found dead of unknown causes on Thanksgiving Day.

Bronaugh was a construction equipment operator assigned to C Company, 864th Engineer Combat Battalion.

He joined the Army in September 2005.

He received his engineer training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and arrived in Alaska in April 2006.

Officials say Bronaugh’s next of kin have been notified of his death.
