CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Navy officials say the death of a 29-year-old Camp Pendleton sailor is being investigated as a possible homicide.
Navy Region Southwest spokesman Doug Sayers says the body of August Provost of Houston was discovered in a guard shack on the base before dawn Tuesday.
An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday to determine the cause of death.
Sayers says the Naval Criminal Investigative Service has taken a “person of interest” into custody. He says charges have not been filed.
The San Diego Union-Tribune says Provost was a boatswain mate seaman who worked on hovercrafts and was assigned to Assault Craft Unit 5 on the base.
