FORT JACKSON, S.C. — Officials at Fort Jackson say a 21-year-old soldier has died after she collapsed while running during the Army’s physical fitness test.
Authorities said Monday that Pvt. Andrea D. Rosser of Raleigh, N.C., was pronounced dead at a Richland County hospital Saturday, the same day she collapsed after running for about 20 minutes during the 2-mile portion of the test.
Rosser was scheduled to graduate Friday. The Army is investigating her death.
Rosser was the third soldier to die at the base within the last few weeks.
Pvt. Dominique Gibson-Brooks of Durham, N.C., died Sept. 25 after having a seizure. Pvt. Derryl Britt of Houston was taken off life support the same week after surgery to repair a brain hemorrhage.
