A Fort Hood soldier recently ordered to self-monitor for exposure to the Ebola virus was found dead outside his off-post residence Tuesday morning.

The 24-year-old man, whose name has not yet been released, was found in the yard outside of his apartment on the 3300 block of Cantabrian Drive in Killeen at about 7:30 a.m., Central Texas NBC affiliate KCEN-TV reported.

The soldier had recently returned to Texas on emergency leave and was ordered to self-monitor himself twice per day and report the status to medical officials, according to Fort Hood. That directive is standard protocol for soldiers returning from service in West Africa.

Dead Fort Hood soldier tests negative for Ebola
KVUE/KCEN/USA Today 5:35 p.m. CST January 13, 2015

KILLEEN, Texas – Initial test results on a 24-year-old Fort Hood soldier found dead outside his Killeen home Tuesday are negative for the Ebola virus.

Fort Hood media relations chief Chris Haug said Tuesday evening the soldier, who had recently deployed to Liberia, tested negative for the virus.

There was no indication Ebola was present when he was found dead near the doorstop of his Cantebrian Drive home around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. Responders decided to test the man as a precaution.

Officials say the soldier was granted an emergency leave that was not medical related and involved a family emergency. It is not known if the soldier was hospitalized or if the family emergency was a false report.

The soldier, whose name has not been released pending notification of family, was under self-monitoring where he had to check in with officials twice a day before his emergency.

About 3,000 troops are being deployed to fight the outbreak, which has claimed more than 8,200 lives, according to the World Health Organization.

Troops returning from West Africa must undergo a 21-day monitoring period at a controlled monitoring site on post.

A more conclusive test required by the Center for Disease Control is underway. Both tests are required to exclude the diagnosis and ensure the safety of the community.
