If you know me at all, you probably know my family has been reeling since the death of my 21-year-old brother-in-law, Sgt. Dylan Gentry. He died at his home on what is now known as Fort Cavazos, formerly Fort Hood, on May 1, 2023.

After weeks and weeks of calling, asking, begging, we finally received his death certificate on Aug. 11 and the autopsy report on Aug. 12 — nearly 4 ½ months after he passed. Suddenly, there are new details on the autopsy report which we had not been told prior. Most glaringly, we had been told by several Army officials Dylan died in a hospital; now we are coming to find out he was never even taken to a hospital.
