The U.S. Army is investigating after a Black Hawk pilot was found dead while off base in Honduras. 

1st Lt. Marciano Parisano, a 25-year-old from Cibolo, Texas, serving in the 1st Battalion of the 228 Aviation Regiment, was found dead in Comayagua on Saturday, as reported by the Army. 

“It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we mark the passing of Lieutenant Marciano Parisano. He served our unit and mission at Soto Cano Air Base with honor, pride, and bravery,” stated U.S. Army Col. Daniel Alder, the commander of Joint Task Force-Bravo. 

“As a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot with the 228 Aviation Regiment, his contributions to our team were invaluable,” Alder also expressed. “He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege to know and serve alongside him.”
