Fort Hood soldier dies off post

A Fort Hood soldier who was found unresponsive has died, Army officials said.

Spc. Aigner Certaine, 24, was found Monday at an off-post home in Killeen, Texas.

She was taken to Metroplex Hospital where attempts to revive her were unsuccessful, according to a Fort Hood release.

The Killeen Police Department is investigating the incident.

Certaine, from Sanford, Florida, joined the Army in November 2012 as a unit supply specialist. She had been assigned to the 62nd Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade at Fort Hood since August 2017.

Her awards and decorations include three Army Achievement Medals, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.

She did not deploy, Fort Hood officials told Army Times.
