Three airmen have died at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea in a span of five weeks, but Air Force officials are providing few details on the causes of death and how they're specifically addressing the string of incidents.
Last week, on Aug. 28, Tech. Sgt. Jacob Venegas was found deceased in an on-base dormitory. Earlier that month, on Aug. 5, Senior Airman Saniyya Jones-Smalls was found dead on base. Prior to her death, on July 26, Airman Basic Kye Vang passed away on base, according to three separate press releases from Kunsan.
Capt. Alvin Nelson, a spokesperson for the base, told Military.com in an emailed statement that "summer has been difficult for the Wolf Pack due to the multiple losses of airmen in a short amount of time."
