FORT JACKSON, S.C. — A Huntsville native and another Alabama soldier were found dead at Fort Jackson, just days apart, the Army reported.

The soldiers, both drill sergeants, have been identified as Staff Sgt. Zachary Melton, 30, of Huntsville and Staff Sgt. Allen Burtram, 34, of Cleveland.

Burtram was found dead on base on Dec. 8; Melton was found in his car on the base Dec. 16.

The two deaths are unrelated and there is no apparent evidence of foul play, the Army said. The Army Criminal Investigations Division is investigating.

“As a Fort Jackson community, we are mourning the tragic loss of two of our drill sergeants within the past few weeks,” said Brig. Gen. Jason E. Kelly, commanding general of Fort Jackson. “While there are several ongoing investigations into the specifics of each of these deaths, we are taking very deliberate steps to ensure our resiliency resource offerings are adequate and responsive.”
