FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The Army completed an investigation of 10 infant deaths at Fort Bragg without finding any evidence of a common environmental link or of crimes.

The cause of death in all 10 cases was classified as undetermined. Two other infants died after the 11-month review began and are being investigated separately, but the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command said it saw no link between those and the 10 included in the review.

McHugh: Bragg Infant Deaths ‘Frustrating’

April 01, 2011
Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer
Army Secretary John McHugh said Thursday that the deaths of at least 10 infants on Fort Bragg remain a frustrating mystery.

Testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, McHugh revealed that he ordered a special team from the Army's Public Health Command to Fort Bragg to take a fresh look at the cases.

A spokeswoman for McHugh said the team visited Fort Bragg in early December and continues to investigate.

But McHugh said the investigators have exhausted nearly every angle and don't appear any closer to understanding why the infants died.

Fort Bragg and Army Criminal Investigation Command officials also have been investigating the unexplained infant deaths on post since last year, after realizing that three of the babies died in one house in the Ardennes community during a four-year period.

During that time, seven other babies died of unexplained causes on post. Two more have died since the investigation began, most recently on Feb. 24. Those deaths remain under investigation apart from the other 10.
