§ Dr. Moonie
Private James Collinson, Royal Logistic Corps, died from a gunshot wound to the head while on guard duty at the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut, on 23 March 2002. The circumstances surrounding Private Collinson's death are still the subject of a police investigation and it would, therefore, be inappropriate to comment further at this stage. A date for the coroner's inquest has yet to be set. Only after the inquest has concluded can an Army Board of Inquiry into Private Collinson's death be convened.
