Officers were to blame for a pneumonia outbreak that killed one soldier and hospitalized 63 in western Russia's Chelyabinsk region, the Prosecutor General's Office said Thursday. "The Military Prosecutor's Office of the Volga-Urals Military District investigated the reasons behind high disease rates among servicemen there. It found that certain officers have failed to fulfill their duties properly to guard the life and health of their soldiers," Interfax news agency quoted the Prosecutor's Office as saying. According to the prosecutors, the officers of the Chebarkul garrison failed to isolate ill soldiers quickly enough, did not provide them with necessary medical aid or take preventive measures among the garrison's personnel when the first pneumonia cases were reported there in December and January. Another 26 soldiers from the Russian Baltic Fleet's base, located in the western Russian town of Chernyakhovsk, have been taken to hospital suffering from pneumonia, the garrison's Military Prosecutor Andrei Marchuk said. The patients had been provided with all the necessary medical aid and their life was not in danger, the military prosecutor said. The prosecutor said he would not describe the situation as a mass outbreak. Military doctors blamed low temperatures and heavy snowfalls, which forced soldiers to clean up snow many times, for the latest cases of pneumonia.

Are these two different deaths? One occurred prior to 1/18/11 and the last post indicates that the soldier died on 1/21/11.
