(AP) -- South Carolina authorities say a soldier at Fort Jackson has died during training.

Fort Jackson officials said Friday that 19-year-old Pvt. Jamal Britt of Edgewood, Md., was pronounced dead at a local hospital Wednesday afternoon. He was assigned to C Co., 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment.

An autopsy has been performed, but authorities are awaiting test results to determine how the soldier died.

Two other soldiers at Fort Jackson died this summer.

Twenty-three-year-old Spc. Christopher Hogg of Deltona, Fla., died Sept. 10 from pneumonia complicated by the H1N1 virus. He was the military's first swine flu victim.

Eighteen-year-old Pvt. Jonathan Morales of Milwaukee died Aug. 20 from apparent heatstroke while participating in a march just days before he was to graduate from basic training.
