The family of a local marine is searching for answers after their son was found dead in his barracks at Camp Pendleton.

21-year-old Private First Class Tom Angelo was found dead early Monday morning. NCIS investigators say there is no sign of foul play in this case, but the official death investigation will probably take another couple months.

Private Angelo was a 2008 graduate of Gates Chili High School. His stepmom says after graduation Tom immediately went into the military.

The family is still trying to make sense of how their marine could have died on American soil.

Christine Andrews says her stepson wanted to do more than sit at a desk in college. He wanted hands on experience. “I think he just wanted to find a place in life and thought he might learn something from the military.”
