    OROMOCTO, N.B. — The Canadian Armed Forces has released the name of a soldier and Afghanistan veteran found dead at New Brunswick's Gagetown base on Monday.

     

    He has been identified as 41 year-old Warrant Officer Mark Boychuck.


    Boychuck was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces for the last 20 years, deploying three times to Afghanistan and once to Bosnia.


    Col. Keith Osmond, Commander 5th Canadian Division Support Group, issued a statement urging people to take time to remember Boychuck's contributions to Canada, the international community, and the Canadian Armed Forces.


    Base officials are not releasing a cause of death, but confirm it was not the result of a training accident.


    Osmond is urging people to refrain from speculation and allow authorities the time they need to investigate what happened.
