A US soldier died in Afghanistan today of a “non-combat-related” head injury, the military said, and the death was being looked into by its criminal investigators.

The soldier died at Bagram Air Base, the main US base north of the capital, Kabul.

It was not clear what caused the death, or if it was accidental, but a statement said the case was being looked into by the US Army Criminal Investigation Command.

The soldier’s name was not released pending notification of next of kin.
