FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. – An Army soldier found dead earlier this week has been identified as a Foothill Ranch man assigned to a unit that provides medical and mental health help to other soldiers.

Pfc. Eli Mundt Baker was found in his barracks room at southern Arizona's Fort Huachuca on Monday. Base spokeswoman Tanja Linton said an investigation is under way to find out how he died. She wouldn't say today if foul play is suspected.

Linton said Baker, 22, had recently completed basic training and was still learning his specialty.
