Inquiry Into Pirbright Army Recruit Death
A 29-year-old man who was found hanged at an army camp in Surrey has been identified as Anthony Manuel Jose Hernandez.
Mr Hernandez, from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, was found at the Alexander Barracks at Pirbright Army camp on Sunday.
He had died just before 8am, despite attempts by the ambulance service to resuscitate him.
A post mortem examination found there was no evidence of third party involvement in his death. It also found the cause of death was suspension. Results of toxicology tests are still awaited.
Surrey Police confirmed they were making inquiries into the "full circumstances" of the man's death.
Alexander Barracks at Pirbright opened earlier this year and was designed to offer comfortable and modern accommodation for new recruits.
The 12-man dormitory-style rooms are partitioned into four areas, for greater privacy. The Army constructed them as part of its plans to improve living conditions for new recruits.
A "duty of care" office was also included in the newly designed barracks, as well as training staff located on each floor.
