Fort Carson soldier dies from brain injury

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Fort Carson (Colorado)-based soldier who suffered a brain injury in Baghdad last summer has died at a Maryland hospital.

The Defense Department says 22-year-old Sergeant Mikeal Wayne Miller died Sunday at the National Naval Medical Center.

Pentagon officials say Miller was hurt when the vehicle he was in was hit by a roadside bomb in Baghdad on July 9th.

Miller was a native of Albany, Oregon. He was a member of the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division.

Fort Carson spokeswoman Karen Linne says Miller entered the Army in August 2003, a few months after his graduation from South Albany High School.

Miller suffered the injury during his second deployment to Iraq.
