SALT LAKE CITY -- A 49-year-old Army reservist from Utah died in a non-combat incident in Iraq, officials said Tuesday.

Sgt. 1st Class Douglas Stone of Taylorsville was sent on a training mission with the 108th Training Division. He died Sunday, said Claude McKinney, a Reserve spokesman.

No details were released because the death was under investigation, McKinney said.

‘We have very little information at this point,’ he said.

Stone’s wife and two sons, ages 10 and 13, were notified Monday. He has ties to Michigan and will be buried there, the Reserve said in a statement.

Stone was born at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota while his father was in the Air Force.

He is the 17th Utah resident to die in Iraq and Afghanistan since March 2003, according to the Web site http://icasualties.org.
