(Tribune News Service) — A civilian employee died Tuesday at the Fort Meade, Md., military base after being found unresponsive in his office, according to a news release.
The identity of the man, an employee at Army Community Services, is being withheld until next of kin are notified, said Fort Meade spokesperson Shaun Herron.
Per the release, the employee was found on the floor of his office Tuesday afternoon. The Directorate of Emergency Services then responded and determined the man had died.
A cause of death has not yet been determined, though Herron said there were no signs of self-harm or foul play.
The Army Criminal Investigation Division, which also responded alongside Military Police Investigation, has assumed responsibility of the investigation, according to the release.
The civilian employee was the second person stationed at Fort Meade to die this month. On April 10, Pfc. Paul-Anthony Varner was found unresponsive in his room at Freedom Barracks and was pronounced dead.
Varner, 25, was an intelligence analyst from San Antonio, Texas, Herron said.
Though, like the civilian employee, the Army said there was no immediate indication of self-harm or foul play in Varner’s death, its Criminal Investigation Division is handling the investigation.
