Seoul, South Korea – An American officer has kicked the bucket amid a route preparing practice in South Korea, the U.S. military said Thursday.
Korean residents discovered the assemblage of Spc. Michael William Corey, a knowledge expert, close to the edge of Camp Jackson on Monday, U.S. Powers Korea said in an announcement.
The reason for Corey’s demise amid “area route preparing” is obscure and the episode is under scrutiny, the military said.
Initially from Oro Valley, Arizona, Corey was alloted to the 441st Military Intelligence Battalion in Camp Zama, outside Tokyo.
He was in South Korea to tune in an administration course at the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy at Camp Jackson, a U.S. Armed force base north of Seoul, the South Korean capital.
Camp Jackson has been portrayed by one U.S. officer as a “little gap in-the-mountain base.”
Corey joined the Army a year ago, the announcement said.
Approximately 28,000 U.S. troops are situated in South Korea, a key American partner in the locale.
