Fort Hood soldier's death sparks investigation into sexual harassment allegations.

The death of Pvt. Ana Basaldua Ruiz at Fort Hood has raised questions about the Army's handling of sexual harassment claims. Basaldua Ruiz's mother and friends told Noticias Telemundo that she had said she was sexually harassed, including by one of her superiors. The Army Department's Criminal Investigation Division is investigating her death, and information related to any possible harassment will be addressed and investigated fully. The death of Vanessa Guillén in 2020 after she complained about sexual harassment by a supervisor led to legal reforms, including the I Am Vanessa Guillén Act, which criminalizes sexual harassment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Fort Hood soldier found dead after reporting sexual assault and harassment.

Private Ana Basalduaruiz, a 21-year-old combat engineer at Fort Hood, Texas, was found dead on Monday after reporting sexual assault by a higher-ranking soldier. The Army Criminal Investigation Division and chain of command are investigating the death, which Fort Hood says shows no evidence of foul play. Basalduaruiz's death comes after the murder of Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén at Fort Hood, who was sexually assaulted by a fellow soldier. Sexual assault has been a major problem in the military for decades, with only a few hundred convictions handed down every year.

Fort Hood faces questions after female soldier's death and allegations of sexual harassment.

Pvt. Ana Basalduaruiz, a 20-year-old female soldier, was found dead at Fort Hood, the same Army base in Texas where Vanessa Guillén was murdered three years ago. The cause of her death is under investigation, and no foul play has been found yet. Guillén's death led to an independent review that found a "permissive environment for sexual assault and sexual harassment" at Fort Hood, and several investigations led to the removal of 14 base leaders. Her death also inspired legal reforms to help and protect victims of sexual assault in the military.

Another Fort Hood soldier, Ana Basalduaruiz, dies at 21.

The death of Private Second Class Ana Basalduaruiz, who complained of sexual harassment by a fellow soldier, is being investigated by Fort Hood officials. Basalduaruiz served at the same Texas base where Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen was killed in 2020, leading to a probe into sexual misconduct at Fort Hood. Guillen's family also reported that she had complained of sexual harassment before her murder. A report released after Guillen's death confirmed that she had been sexually harassed by a superior, and leaders in her unit did not take appropriate action after she reported it.
