He was with the 1st Regiment
Royal Canadian Horse
Artillery, based in Shilo,
Manitoba and had only been
in the country for about two
weeks. Ouellet was
originally from Matane, Que.
Officials discovered the
man's body around 2:15pm
local time but can't yet
account for what killed him.
But they are sure about one
thing. "The soldier's death
is not related to combat,"
confirms Brig.-Gen Guy
Laroche.
The Canadian Forces National
Investigation Service will
look into the circumstances
surrounding the death. The
CFNIS is the major crimes
investigative unit of the
Canadian military police and
probes all incidents
involving Canadian military
personnel or property at
home or abroad.
