FORT JACKSON, S.C. — Officials at Fort Jackson say two soldiers that were training there have died.

The base announced Wednesday that memorial services were held earlier this week for Pvt. Dominique Gibson-Brooks of Durham, N.C. and Pvt. Derryl Britt of Houston.

Base officials said Gibson-Brooks had a seizure Sept. 25 and was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

A statement from the base said Britt reported feeling dizzy and exhausted after training on Sept. 23, and doctors discovered he had a brain hemorrhage.

Britt underwent surgery to relieve pressure, but was taken off life support Friday after his condition declined and he had cardiac arrest.
