The police and the Army are investigating the death of a three-day-old trainee at an Army recruit training center in Haman, Gyeongsangnam-do, who collapsed and died while doing a group canter after the morning roll call.
An Army official said, “Around 7:30 a.m. on the 21st, at an Army recruit training center in Haman-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, a trainee in his early 20s lost consciousness and collapsed during a group trot (canter) after the morning roll call. “At the scene, an executive performed CPR on trainee A and transported him to a nearby hospital by 119 ambulance, but he died around 6 p.m. on the same day,” the official said on the 22nd. Trainee A enlisted on the 19th.
An Army official explained, “The trainees woke up, did a morning roll call, and checked each individual’s health status to prevent ‘patient exclusion’ before starting the group run. Only trainees who were capable of hop participated in the canter.” It is said that at the time, the jumping was led by an instructor (non-commissioned officer) from the recruit training center.
The Army is checking the number of trainees and the total distance traveled at the time of the leap. The Army and civilian police are investigating the cause and circumstances of death and whether there were any problems with the accident measures. An Army official said, “The investigation is currently in the early stages, and the exact details will only be known through future investigations.”
Last May, a trainee at the Army 12th Division’s Recruit Training Center collapsed and died while undergoing harsh military training (Eolchalye) that violated regulations. The company commander (captain) and deputy company commander (lieutenant) of the unit are being tried on charges of abuse of power and abuse of power.
