No further results of investigation of death of Maj. Michael Evarts

The pain of losing someone you love is hard enough, even when you know the cause but when you have no idea what happened, why they are not here anymore, it never stops hurting. Why should it take over three months to find out what happened? Why does the military allow families to suffer waiting for answers? Honestly I don't care if the family releases the information to the public or not but they should not be forced to wait any longer before they know why Major Evarts did not come home alive.

The investigation surrounding the death of a local soldier will likely take a few more months to complete, according to Maj. Matthew Lawrence of the 807th Medical Command in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Maj. Michael S. Evarts, 41, of Concord Township, who died on Jan. 17 in Tikrit, Iraq, in a noncombat related incident, was a father of two sons, Zachary and Lukas, and husband to Monique Evarts.

While the circumstances surrounding his death are still under investigation, Lawrence said any more information about the results is up to the family to release.

“And they have said they do not want to do so,” Lawrence said via e-mail. “The official military classification is that it was a non-combat related death.”

Evarts — who has been described by family and friends as infectious, funny, selfless and full of life — had been deployed to Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn in November 2010.
