A family of four was found dead at their military base home in Georgia, the Army announced Thursday.
The bodies of a female soldier, her husband and their two children were found on Fort Stewart property on post about 2pm Wednesday after the soldier’s unit requested a welfare check.
The four individuals were found unresponsive, but were not pronounced dead until 5:30 p.m., according to the Army base.
The military did not disclose the cause of their deaths, but called it an “isolated incident.”
“There is no reason to believe that there is an advanced threat to our community,” Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield said in a Facebook post.
The military did not immediately release the names of those found dead, pending family notification.
Thomas Hamilton, a spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Division, said that “the individual associated with this incident has been identified.”
He declined to say whether any suspects had been arrested or were being sought.
Fort Stewart is the largest Army post east of the Mississippi River and is located about 40 miles southwest of Savannah.

It is the latest in a string of tragic deaths that have engulfed the Army base.
Last year, Spc. Shay A. Wilson, 28, of Queens, New York is accused of using a privately owned firearm in the shooting death of 30-year-old Sgt. Nathan Hillman of Plum, Pennsylvania inside one of the fortress building complexes.
It’s unclear what prompted Wilson to open fire on the decorated seven-year veteran.
Months earlier, a medical evacuation pilot was killed when he crashed his helicopter into another Black Hawk in what officials ruled a suicide.
Two years earlier, a former US Army sergeant stabbed a soldier to death in 2020 after sniffing his drug use.
