Military and police are investigating an incident in which a soldier was found dead after a suspected suicide incident within the Department of Defence headquarters.
The soldier who is said to be based in Lanet had come to visit a colleague at the DoD staff quarters when his body was found hanging in the bathroom. He had also come to run errands at the DoD headquarters.
It is not clear what transpired until the time when his body was found dangling on a rope in the bathroom on Saturday. Officials at DoD alerted civilian police to collect the body to the mortuary.
