Fort Hood reports record number of suicides

Rash of deaths comes as the military grapples with how to recognize mental health problems


Fort Hood officials are investigating a rash of suicides in recent days, including the apparent murder-suicide of a soldier and his wife, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

The incidents come as the central Texas Army post reports a record number of soldiers taking their own lives. According to figures released Tuesday, 14 suicides and six more suspected suicides have been reported so far this year among soldiers stationed at Fort Hood. Fort Hood reported 11 suicides in all of 2009.

More than 1,100 members of the armed forces killed themselves from 2005 to 2009, and suicides have been on the rise again this year. The sharpest increases have been in the Army and Marine Corps, the services most stretched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Federal Prosecutor in Stevens Case Commits Suicide


A Justice Department prosecutor who played a lead role in the corruption case against former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) has committed suicide.

Nicholas Marsh, who was transferred from the Public Integrity Section amid a criminal investigation of the government’s handling of the case against Stevens, killed himself over the weekend. Marsh had been working in the Office of International Affairs. NPR first reported the suicide this morning.

Marsh, represented by Patton Boggs partner Robert Luskin, was one of a group of prosecutors who were under criminal investigation for the government’s mishandling of the Stevens case.

Marsh worked closely with Sullivan on the ground in Alaska investigating public corruption there. In 2004, the year Marsh joined Public Integrity, he was dispatched to Alaska. Before taking a job with DOJ, Marsh spent two years in the New York offices of Hale and Dorr.
