10th Division soldier dies in Afghanistan incident

FORT DRUM — A soldier of the 10th Mountain Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team died in a non-combat-related incident Wednesday.

Spc. Andrew P. Wade, 22, of Antioch, Ill., died in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

Spc. Wade joined the Army in September 2008 and arrived at Fort Drum in April 2009. He deployed last spring with the 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry.

The rest of the brigade is expected to return from Afghanistan by the end of the month, according to a spokeswoman.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called for flags at state buildings to be flown at half staff Monday.

"While this young soldier was not a native of New York, we consider all those stationed at Fort Drum as our own," he said in a statement.
