MASCOUTAH, Ill. — The Air Force has released the identity of an airman found dead last week during a standoff in his home on Scott Air Force base near St. Louis.

The Air Force says the body of 42-year-old Master Sgt. Shannon Defeo was found shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday by 375th Airlift Wing security, ending a five-hour standoff.

The cause of Defeo’s death hasn’t been released.

Air Force 1st Lieutenant Karoline Scott — a spokeswoman for the base’s 375th Airlift Wing — says the case is still being investigated.

Defeo was a weather forecaster with the 15th Operational Weather Squadron.
