Missing West Point Cadet is Found Dead
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — A missing cadet has been found dead at West Point.
The U.S. Military Academy says in a statement that the body of 20-year-old Cadet Kade Kurita of Gardena, California, was found at around 10 p.m. on Tuesday.
The cause of his death is under investigation, but foul play is not suspected.
