Police investigate after soldiers found dead in Manitoba and Alberta
SHILO, Man. – Police are investigating at least one of the deaths of two Canadian Army soldiers this week in Western Canada.
In one case, a soldier posted to CFB Shilo in Manitoba was found dead off the base.
The military says he was a member of 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.
An official says RCMP are investigating and it appears that the soldier killed himself.
In the other case, a soldier who had been transferred this summer from CFB Shilo to a reserve unit in Lethbridge, Alta., was found dead.
He was a member of the 20th Independent Field Battery.
