Army officials are investigating the death of a paratrooper who died from a gunshot wound in a barracks room at Fort Bragg.
The Fayetteville Observer reported Tuesday that 24-year-old Pfc. Matthew R. Grandy of Wake Forest died early Sunday.
Grandy was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Division spokesman Master Sgt. Tom Clementson said the death will be investigated by the Army Criminal Investigation Command.
Grandy is at least the second 82nd Airborne Division paratrooper to die at Fort Bragg from unnatural causes in less than three months. The Army also is investigating the death of Pfc. Luke Brown, whose body was found July 20 in a car on the post.

Why is it that whenever you hear about a soldier dying on base, he or she is automatically belived to have committed suicide. Please show some respect for the family and keep your comments to yourself in regard to the loss of their loved one.
THANK YOU ED.
This has nothing to do with NO BAMA nor Mc Cain! Soldiers suffer from depression and PTSD and they need help with dealing with what they saw and did in the war. It is not republicans that did this. it was the wonderful democrats who cut the military's budget. No money no help. Like I said nothing to do with No bama nor Mc Cain.
