Garrick Eppinger, Jr. September 17, 2011


A shotgun wound to the head and a considerable delay in telling the deceased's family that it was not combat-related. Eppinger, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in Afghanistan after being shot to death. He had a desk job and was not in the line of fire. Who killed this man and why?

Where did you find the specific cause of death as a shotgun wound? I haven't seen that posted anywhere.

"...The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, based in Quantico, Va., concluded this spring that Garrick Eppinger Jr. died Sept. 17 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

The family disputes the ruling.
