ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Elmendorf's commander will be honored later this week in a memorial service on base.
Brig. Gen. Thomas Tinsley was found dead in his home Sunday night. Tinsley died of what appears to be a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, according to Air Force officials. They say no note was found.
Representatives of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology will make a final ruling on the cause of death.
A memorial service for the brigadier general will be held 2 p.m. Thursday at hangar one. The service will be open to the public.
