Earlier this week, Military.com reported that officials at the base refused to provide the causes of deaths. The report, citing an unnamed source, said there was speculation that some of the deaths were the result of suicide or covid. The other six remaining deaths are a result of other causes, some of which remain under investigation, most of which were civilians, Ruscetta said. Tinker Air Force Base offers different forms of support, mental health counselors, chaplains, and Military Family Readiness professionals. Ruscetta noted that workforce at Tinker Air Force Base includes civilian and uniformed airmen and sailors, as well as contractors.
