But his comrades left and realised he had died until his body was found on November 12.

Now, Army chiefs are braced for the findings of a report into the death at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, South-East London.

Police say his death is unexplained.

A source said: “This is a shocking event. How did it take so long to realise where he was?

“It raises some very serious questions surrounding welfare.”

The Army declined to comment while a coroner was still investigating.
