A 19-year-old U.S. Air Force Academy cadet was found dead inside her dorm room.
Cadet 4th Class Avery Koonce of Taylor, Texas, was found “unconscious in her dormitory,” the U.S. Air Force Academy said on Instagram.
“Academy first responders were called and attempted life-saving measures, which were unsuccessful. The cause of death is under investigation,” the post read.
Koonce was a member of the academy’s Women’s Track and Field team.
“We lost an incredible teammate last night. While only with us for a short time, Avery positively impacted her unit, her intercollegiate team, and her class – her loss will be felt across USAFA. Our team is focused on providing support to Avery’s family, Cadet Squadron 38, the Track and Field team, and the entire Academy family,” Academy Superintendent Lt Gen Tony Bauernfeind said.
Today, we mourn the loss of Cadet 4th Class Avery Koonce, 19, of Taylor, Texas.
