Tel Aviv, July 28 -- Israeli army reservist Ariel Meir Taman, who served in a unit responsible for identifying fallen soldiers during the war in Gaza, was found dead on Sunday night at his home in the southern city of Ofakim in what the Israel Defence Forces suspects was suicide.

The incident is the latest in a series of soldier suicides in recent weeks that are worrying mental health experts.

The IDF confirmed Taman's death on Monday and said an investigation had been opened by the Military Police's Criminal Investigation Division. "Upon its conclusion, the findings will be submitted for review by the Military Advocate General," the army said in a statement. "The IDF shares in the family's grief and will continue to support them."
