OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces says it is investigating the death of a Winnipeg-based soldier who was serving in Iraq.
Capt. Eric Cheung, 38, died Saturday under what the military is calling “non-operational related circumstances,” though the exact details are now under investigation.
In a statement, the military says Cheung was working as an operations officer with the 38 Canadian Brigade Group Headquarters in Winnipeg before deploying to Iraq.
Cheung had been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces since 2009.
