A Fort Hood soldier who just returned from West Africa and was self-monitoring for Ebola symptoms was found dead on Tuesday outside his apartment, officials said.

Killeen police and hazmat teams arrived after 911 calls came in of a man's body on the front lawn of his home, which is just outside the base.

Fort Hood said that the 24-year-old man, who has not been named, had returned on January 7 as part of a 87-person team assigned to West Africa for three months and was found dead at around 7.30am.

Carrie Williams, director of media relations for Texas Department of State Health Services, told CBS News the man was stationed in Liberia.

Thanks....now what did he die of???

The exact cause of death has not been released and is pending an autopsy.

There were no visible signs of trauma. He had returned home from Africa due to a DEATH IN THE FAMILY. It is highly likely he committed suicide by poison or pills.

We won't know until the autopsy is complete.

If he committed suicide by poison or pills, why leave the house ? He must have been trying to go some where.

Good question. IF it was one of those, one might wander outside in a delirious state of mind.

Perhaps at the last moment, he changed his mind ?

Hard to say.

The disease is not highly contagious. It is highly deadly, and moderately contagious in the final stages due to high concentrations in body fluids.

The first Ebola death, the guy died in his house with a number of family members caring for him, and a fair number of people visiting, and none of them caught Ebola. a couple nurses caught it from his last hours.

The amazing thing to me was smart people here actually asking WHY they would send in Hazmat if he didn’t die of Ebola — as if the first responders would know definitively how he died before they even got there to look him over.

It is like we read a story about a fire company going to a house and finding no fire, and people posting “why did they send a fire company if the house wasn’t on fire”, and arguing that the house must have been burning or else they wouldn’t have sent the fire company to investigate.

Agenda? Like my agenda is to read these threads to laugh at people making hilarious leaps of bad logic regarding Ebola cases.

Maybe one agenda is to try to keep freepers from making fools of themselves.

In both, they do not mention what might have caused his death.

It may take a few weeks for cause of death to be determined. The autopsy has to be conducted, toxicology and other tests need to be run. It is sad that he died so soon after coming back from deployment.

“You have an agenda”

Not much of an agenda.

I simply read the article and compared the information in the article to what I know about Ebola and determined that the probability of this soldier having and dying from Ebola was extremely low.

What would be your agenda?

A 'couple'... I'm assuming two or more... Yes, that's why the disease is so dangerous...

I wonder if he was self monitoring and started spiking a fever? Then, after what he saw in Africa, decided suicide was a better option? A form of PTSD?

Ft. Hood sure has suffered greatly under this Resident. Perhaps it should be renamed Ft. Obama. Of course, they'd have to remove all fences and guards, replace them with do not enter signs and call it a Muslim outreach center and Ebola nursing home.

A couple weeks ago a medical person on Fox said there are 1400 cases of ebola, or possiible ebola, being monitored now. Apparently, Hussein has instructed CDC, et al., to play it down. We’re supposed to believe that by him appointing a czar the bad stuff magically went “poof!”.

The story should be why he wasn’t quarantined as the clown said the soldiers would be. One source says he returned with his unit and another says he returned on emergency leave. Which is it, huh? ...crickets... Either way, he should have been in quarantine.

I have noticed that over the past few months, many posters on FR seem to have gone beserk (lost the ability to be rational and objective).

And it’s not just the newbies.

Is it something in the air ? Or water ?

Two different tests done on him for ebola have come back negative.
