The Army Criminal Investigation Command announced this week that it  
hasn't been able to determine what has caused the deaths of 10  
infants at Fort Bragg, N.C. since 2007. According to medical  
examiners the deaths were due to "undetermined" causes. The  
investigators found no evidence that the deaths were related to any  
exposure to environmental contamination or to any type of criminal  
activity.

The announcement doesn't include details about the methods used to  
reach that conclusion.

CID began its investigation after three infants died in the same home  
between 2007 and 2009. After an eighth child died on base in 2009,  
CID began to suspect that sulfur gasses from the drywall used in the  
homes could have something to do with the deaths.
