While there is no current indication he died as a result of Ebola, he just returned from the ‘hot zone’, he was self-monitoring, and apparently he just collapsed and died.
KILLEEN, Texas – A neighborhood in a small town just outside Fort Hood in Texas was sealed off Tuesday after a soldier from the base was found dead in his yard.
Killeen police, a hazmat team and several ambulances responded to the scene after a report came in of a man’s body being found outside, reports CBS affiliate KWTX in Waco.
According to a release from Fort Hood, the soldier recently returned on emergency leave and was under established guidelines to self-monitor himself twice-a-day and report his status to medical officials. Fort Hood officials say there is no indication of the Ebola virus disease, but medical tests are being conducted. A neighbor told KWTX that he saw the body at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. (read more)
