In a statement, Minister of National Defence David McGinty said, I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends and fellow service members mourning the loss of Private William Douglas Delbianco. No words can ease the pain of losing a loved one, and my thoughts remain with all those affected by this tragedy. We remain committed to supporting the families and the Canadian Armed Forces community during this profoundly difficult time and to honouring Private Delbianco's service, dedication and sacrifice to Canada. Four other soldiers died in the fire during that training exercise on October 17th. Sergeant Morgan Wong, 26 years old, from Edmonton. Private Sean Farrell, a 23-year-old from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. 23-year-old Private Aidan Goulding of North Vancouver and Private Hayden Leichmark, 19, of Langley, B.C.
