A military medical examiner in Washington, D.C., performed an autopsy, but the cause of death hasn't been released.
The Army's Criminal Investigation Command is investigating Brown's death. No information on any suspects or a possible motive was released.
Brown is the third Fort Bragg soldier slain in recent weeks.
