ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The mother of a Fort Richardson soldier found dead in his Anchorage home told The Anchorage Daily News the death is apparently a suicide.
The woman who lives in Ohio says two soldiers who went to look for Anthony S. Schmachtenberger when he didn’t show up for work Wednesday found him in his garage with a vehicle running.
The 30-year-old staff sergeant was an artilleryman from Minerva, Ohio. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 377th Parachute Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.
Robin Scalero in Alliance, Ohio, said her son had separated from his wife and had stress from combat in Iraq. He leaves three daughters.
