The Army is investigating the death of a Fort McNair soldier who’d recently been ill and was found dead in his barracks.
Pfc. Charles A. Pfetzer, 20, of Villa Hills, Ky., who served as an honor guard for fallen soldiers, was discovered Tuesday morning when he failed to report for duty.
Since Pfetzer’s family learned of his death, the community has rallied around them.
“He was loved by a lot of people,” said his sister, Andrea Pfetzer. “We’ve had a tremendous amount of support that we really appreciate. Everyone’s been gathering around us.”
Charles Pfetzer had been home on leave for eight days when he was diagnosed with mononucleosis, his sister said. The last three days, she said her brother was in bed most of the time. He flew back to Washington on Monday night.
