Jan. 21--The dead body found last week near a Fort Stewart neighborhood in Georgia was that of a former soldier, according to information released by the Army Criminal Investigation Command.
Fort Stewart officials confirmed Tuesday that the veteran is 30-year-old Christopher Jenoras Demoreal Henry II.
Special agents from the command, known as CID, are continuing their investigation into the discovery of his body, which was found at about 4 p.m. Jan. 13 in the woods near Liberty Woods, a housing neighborhood for military families on the Army base.
"At this point in the investigation, we do not suspect foul play, but we have not completely ruled it out while we are conducting a very thorough death investigation," CID spokesman Chris Grey said in a statement.
Henry was the boyfriend of a soldier who lives in base housing, according to the news release. He was reported missing Jan. 10 by the soldier with whom he was involved. A record of Henry's service was not available Monday.
There are more than 3,400 family housing units at Fort Stewart and about 9,800 soldiers, family members and Army civilians live on the base. Liberty Woods, one of 10 neighborhoods listed as part of base housing, is made up of three- and four-bedroom townhouses for enlisted personnel.
Fort Stewart is located in southeast Georgia near Hinesville and encompasses about 288,000 acres. Home to the 3rd Infantry Division, the base employs about 22,500 personnel, of which about 18,500 are active-duty soldiers.
