Tech. Sgt David J. Devier, 911th aircraft maintenance crew chief of the 916th Air Refueling Wing at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, was found dead in his off-base residence Feb. 28, according to WNCT-9.
Devier's death is under investigation by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations.
"We thank everyone who has offered condolences to our wing family already and ask people for patience while the investigation is ongoing," said Col Eric Jenkins, 916th Air Refueling Wing commander. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to David's family."
