The remains of Cpl. Jacob H. Turbett were returned Feb. 15 to Dover Air Force Base, Del.
His wife, Crystal, said her husband grew up in Canton Township in Wayne County, west of
Detroit. She said the military told her that Turbett died Feb. 13.
Other details were not immediately available, and his wife said funeral arrangements were
incomplete.
