Dracut Soldier Dies in Kuwait, Family Asking Questions

The Pentagon has announced that Army Specialist Christine M. Ndururi, 21, of Dracut, died on Tuesday. The military has stated the cause of death was an "unspecified illness."

Her family wants to know what happened now because it was the first day of her first overseas mission.

Her father told the Eagle-Tribune that she hadn't been sick: "I’m waiting for them to tell me what happened. She was not ill, unless she was ill after 9 o’clock when she talked to her mother. Before she was deployed there, she had to have a medical checkup.” No answers have emerged yet.
