Nearly seven months after Private First Class Asia Graham was found dead at an Army barracks in Texas, her fiancée and fellow soldier Private Marriah Pouncy died after being found in similar circumstances at the same barracks.
Army authorities discovered Pouncy unresponsive in her barracks room at Fort Bliss on Monday before being pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel a short time later. Graham was also found unresponsive in her room at Fort Bliss before being pronounced dead on December 31, 2020.
Graham s mother told local ABC affiliate station KVIA-TV on Thursday that the women had been engaged to be married. It is unclear whether there was any other connection between the deaths, although the Army does not consider either death to be suspicious.
