The Canadian Armed Forces has released the name of the soldier from Base Gagetown who died Tuesday morning.

In a release Wednesday night, he was identified as Corporal Christopher Webster from 5th Canadian Division Support Group Signal Squadron.

The Department of National Defence public affairs release also detailed the events around Cpl. Webster's death.

He collapsed during a unit run on the Hazen Park running trail outside of the base, in Oromocto, it stated.

"CPR was administered immediately at the scene, and the member was transported to Oromocto Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead," the release continued.

Cpl. Webster was a Communications and Information Systems Specialist at Base Gagetown. (Government of Canada) Corporal Webster joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 2009 as a Regular Force member, and was serving as an Army Communications and Information Systems Specialist.

"Cpl. Christopher Webster was a devoted soldier, spouse and father," said Col. Daniel MacIsaac, commander of 5th Canadian Division Support Group, quoted in the release.

"His confidence and character was an inspiration to those who knew him. He showed commitment and skill in his role as a Signaller, but that was eclipsed by his dedication to his children. He will be dearly missed by both his immediate family and his extended military family."

Because the death occurred outside of the base, RCMP were called in, and closed their investigation Wednesday morning.

No foul play was suspected in the soldier's death, according to Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh, RCMP media relations officer in New Brunswick.

The Armed Forces release stated that the investigation is now being conducted by New Brunswick Coroner Services.
