The soldier whose body was found in his garage in Anchorage this week was identified Thursday by the Army as Spc. Arturo Martinez of Escondido, Calif.

Martinez, 32, entered the Army in 2008 and was a combat engineer assigned to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, where he served with the 23rd Engineer Co., 6th Engineer Battalion of the 3rd Maneuver Enhancement Brigade. He returned from a one-year deployment to Afghanistan with the 23rd Engineer Company, "Sapper," in January, the Army said.
