A high number of American soldiers assigned to Fort Bragg have died over the last two years, with 14 of those being specifically noted as drug overdoses, including 11 that were due to Fentanyl overdose. Overall there have been 109 soldier deaths at Fort Bragg during 2020 and 2021 with only four that lost their lives during overseas military operations. According to a Rolling Stone article, only 20 more of those 109 were from natural causes. Overdose deaths, suicides, and even murders have all been part of the count. Several deaths, including those of Matthew Disney and Joshua Diamond, were blamed on counterfeit synthetic opioids laced with Fentanyl (fake Percocet, specifically).
