FORT DRUM, NY -- A 29-year-old soldier from Louisiana was found dead in his barracks at Fort Drum.

Officials at the northern New York Army post said Spc. Lawrence Holloway was a healthcare specialist assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 85th Infantry Regiment. He was found dead in his barracks room shortly after noon on Sunday.

On Wednesday, Benjamin Abel, the post's media relations officer, said autopsy results have not been released. He said an investigation into the cause of death is continuing.

A native of Ponchatoula, La., Holloway joined the Army in February 2004 and completed basic training at Fort Knox, Ky., before receiving advanced individual training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

In Afghanistan from February 2006 to January 2007, he served as a medic and ambulance driver with the 10th Sustainment Brigade.

Holloway is survived by his mother.
