The body of L/Cpl Bernard Mongan was discovered in his barracks three weeks after he went missing.
An Army investigation into the unexplained death of a British soldier has identified serious failings in its duty of care.
While duty officers in Catterick had been told to contact those remaining in the barracks over the Christmas period to "ensure they are safe and well", the inquiry found the plan had "not been communicated and implemented as effectively as it should have". Mongan was also a victim of a serious assault in Catterick in November 2018 which was being investigated by the Royal Military Police. Support for the victim was "not effective", the report says.
She said "he was telling people he was afraid and he was not checked properly in the days before he died". In a statement, Brig Edward Chamberlain, head of the Army Personnel Services Group, said: "There were clearly failings in our duty of care to Lance Corporal Mongan.
