The army has now launched a Service Inquiry into the death of a 19-year-old soldier who was found in the military barracks - as his family say they are still waiting for answers. Ebrima Nyabally, who joined the army when he was 17, was found dead in his room at the barracks in Tidworth on February 25.
His family, from Bestwood, Nottingham, have previously said his body was discovered at around 9pm. But it was not until the early hours when the family received the devastating news. His dad, Malang Nyabally, who was working a night shift at the time, had to rush home when a police officer attended their address at around 2am.
And while the full circumstances of Ebrima's death are yet to be ascertained, the army has confirmed that a Service Inquiry has commenced. According to the government website, a service inquiry is held after "an military incident, which results in death or serious injury in order to understand the circumstances, and any changes to procedures or equipment to prevent recurrence".
