A young army recruit from Queensland has died in a Sydney hospital from injuries suffered in a training incident in regional New South Wales on Good Friday.
The Defence Department said 18-year-old Liam Wolf, who finished high school in Brisbane last year, was completing basic training at the Army Recruit Training Centre in Kapooka when he was involved in an incident.
He was taken to the Wagga Wagga Base Hospital before being transferred to Sydney for specialist treatment, but died in hospital today.
The Defence Department said support was being provided to the young man’s family and friends.
“Defence offers its deepest condolences to Liam’s family and friends and ongoing welfare support is being provided to them,” it said in a statement.
“Defence notes the commendable actions of those Army members and health staff involved in providing immediate first aid.
“Due to privacy requirements, Defence will not be releasing any further information regarding the recruit’s personal or service details.”
The department is working with NSW police and ComCare to investigate the incident.
