Guam - An autopsy was performed this afternoon on an airman from Minot Air Force Base who was found unresponsive at Andersen Air Force Base on Saturday. The Beaumont Enterprise reports that 20-year-old Airman First Class Joshua Grier was assigned to the 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and was deployed to Guam last month.

Medical examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola says he cannot give an exact cause of death as he needs toxicology results to determine if Grier was under the influence of alcohol. Espinola says the tissue samples were submitted to the Navy today, but he believes the airman may have died from alcohol poisoning.

Andersen Air Force base is not releasing any information about the case, referring inquiries to Minot Air Force Base Public Affairs.
