Jul 10th, 2009 | FORT LEWIS, Wash. -- An ROTC cadet has died in a night ground navigation exercise at Fort Lewis in Washington.
The Army says 19-year-old Daniel N. Miller was reported missing at 2 a.m. Thursday and searchers found his body at 9:15 a.m.
Fort Lewis and U.S. Army Cadet Command are investigating, and haven't say how he died.
Miller was a student at New York's Houghton College and a member of the ROTC unit at St. Bonaventure University in St. Bonaventure, N.Y.
Fort Lewis said in a statement Friday that Miller was at the Leader Development and Assessment Course, which involves more than 5,000 cadets at the base south of Seattle.
Cadet Command provides the majority of the commissioned officers who enter the U.S. Army each year.
