A Fort Carson soldier died after collapsing Monday morning at the end of a run that was part of routine physical fitness training, the base says.
The soldier was training on the Mountain Post when he collapsed about 7:30 a.m. He was taken to Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later.
Army officials say he died of “unknown causes.”
The soldier’s name is being withheld pending his family’s notification, Fort Carson officials said. The soldier’s unit also was not released.
“The cause of the accident is under investigation,” the base said in a statement. “Our deepest condolences go out to those affected by the loss of our soldier.”
