KKTV quoted Miss Fonteneaux's family as saying the soldier had been stabbed and was found unclothed.



Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Command, said he could not comment on the report.

Investigators said they don't believe anyone else is in danger.



Miss Fonteneaux lived in the barracks where she was found, Mr Grey said. He declined to say whether she was killed in the barracks or some other place.

'It just took my breath away,' said Joanna Fonteneaux of Houston, the soldier's great aunt. 'I said, "Oh my lord, a young girl like that?"'



Miss Fonteneaux held the rank of specialist and had been in the Army two years. She was a food service specialist in the 4th Engineer Battalion.



Her death came three days after another Fort Carson soldier was killed in a crash that was ruled a suicide. There was no indication the two deaths were related.



Jordan Matthew Dubois, 20, of Milwaukee, Oregon, died on Thursday in Colorado Springs about a mile off the post.



City police said he was driving a pick-up that left a street at high speed and crashed into a light pole, a tree and landscaping boulders. The coroner ruled the death a suicide.



Mr Dubois enlisted in February 2011.
