In an update issued September 8, Ft. Hood officials shed more light on what happened the day PV2 Chee collapsed during physical training.

Just a week after a change in leadership on post, the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday launched an investigation into Fort Hood's leadership response.

Less than two days after a change in leadership at the base, Fort Hood is once again reporting the death of a soldier stationed there.

Maj. Gen. John B. Richardson IV will become acting senior commander Wednesday, and Maj. Gen. Scott Efflandt will not assume command of the 1st Armored Division.

An attorney for the family of Sgt. Elder N. Fernandes has said a body found near S. 49th in Temple is that of the soldier who's been missing since August 17.

The Killeen Police Department says Fernandes was last reported to have been seen by his sergeant.

Fernandes was last seen Monday afternoon when he was dropped off at his home by his staff sergeant.
