Naval Criminal Investigative Services is still investigating the death of a Marine assigned to Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, although the death appears to be a suicide, officials said.

Sgt. Thomas R. Bagosy, 25, died of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound,” according to a command news release issued Wednesday. His body was found Monday afternoon near the intersection of Cross Street and McHugh Boulevard aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Bagosy, an automotive organizational mechanic from Newark, Del., enlisted in the Corps in 2004 and joined MarSOC in October 2008. He deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Four state-side Marines have died in the last week, including three at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va. Lance Cpl. Kevin P. Grant of Harvey, Ill., was shot to death in base housing Sunday. Two other Marines died May 2: Staff Sgt. Nigel Castor, 32, was found dead in a home on base, although the cause of death is unknown; Lance Cpl. Lucas Gary Lowe, 20, was found dead near the Henderson Road railroad track crossing on base.
