MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – U.S. military authorities are investigating the death of a Minnesota soldier injured in a noncombat related incident in Iraq.
The Department of Defense announced Wednesday that 48-year-old Maj. Tad T. Hervas of Coon Rapids died Tuesday at Contingency Operating Base in Basra. Officials released little detail, saying he died of “injuries sustained from a noncombat related incident.”
Lt. John Hobot, with the Minnesota National Guard, says authorities are relying on military reports and the details are still under investigation.
Hobot says officials won’t speculate on the circumstances surrounding Hervas’ death.
