A Fort Hood soldier who had just returned from West Africa was found dead Tuesday outside his off-post residence.
It wasn't clear how the GI, who was not identified, had died. Tyler Broadway, a Fort Hood spokesman, said he was not sure if his death was connected to the Ebola virus.
The soldier was among a group of 87 soldiers from the post who returned to Texas on Jan. 7 after spending time in West Africa on a mission to help contain the Ebola virus. The troops are isolation at North Fort Hood, but this soldier was allowed to visit with family under an emergency leave exception.
