Investigators have found a Fort Bragg soldier's severed head but his body is still missing, according to reports.
Spc. Enrique Roman-Martinez was on a camping trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks over the Memorial Day weekend when he disappeared, authorities reported. He was a 21-year-old paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division from Chino, Calif.
His head washed up on a beach at the Shackleford Banks days after his disappearance, the Durham Herald Sun reported Saturday.

“A definitive cause of death cannot be determined, (but) the findings in this case are most consistent with death due to homicide,” the paper quoted the autopsy report as saying.
The autopsy found evidence of “multiple chop injuries” to Roman-Martinez’s head and that his jaw had been broken in at least two places, the paper reported.
