Marine officials and San Diego County sheriffs are investigating the suspected suicide of a lance corporal found hanging outside his home Monday night in Fallbrook, Calif.
Officials identified the Marine as Lance Cpl. Joseph L. Favela, 20, a field artillery cannoneer with Camp Pendleton’s 1st Battalion, 11th Marines.
Favela’s wife found her husband hanging from a porch rafter at their home just southeast of the base. Emergency medical personnel were called to the scene but unable to revive him.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office determined Favela died of asphyxiation by hanging, Marine officials said.
Favela, of Robstown, Texas, enlisted March 20, 2008. He was assigned to 1/11’s Charlie Company since last year, but he had not deployed.
