An Army investigation has determined the death of a soldier earlier this year in a medical barracks at Fort Huachuca was a negligent homicide.

Pfc. Eli Baker, 22, died as the result of a morphine overdose, said Chris Grey, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

“We have reason to believe that someone supplied him with that morphine, but he was not prescribed that morphine,” Grey said.
