Update: This story was updated at 3:04 p.m. on Monday, July 27th, to include further information released by Fort Sill.

A soldier was found dead inside his home on Saturday, according to a press release from Fort Sill's Fires Center of Excellence. 

"Warrant Officer Blake Munck, attending a professional development course on Fort Sill, was found unresponsive at his residence in Elgin on July 25 by his roommate," according to the installation.

“Our hearts are saddened by the loss of one of our Fort Sill teammates. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and the Fires teammates who worked beside him”, said Maj. Gen Ken Kamper, Commanding General of Fort Sill, in a statement.

Munck's cause of death is unknown and under investigation, according to the statement.

The U.S. Army installation was recently the site of Oklahoma's first known pediatric coronavirus death, the 13-year-old daughter of a service member.
