A high ranking U.S. Navy admiral was found dead in his residence in Bahrein. The Daily Caller reports:
A replacement has been named for Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, the top Navy admiral in the Middle East, after he was found dead in his residence in Bahrain Saturday.
Vice Adm. Jim Malloy, the deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans and strategy, will take Stearney’s place commanding U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the 5th Fleet, Stars and Stripes reported Monday.
Defense officials called Stearney’s death an “apparent suicide,” CBS News reported. Navy officials declined to comment on those reports, according to Stars and Stripes.
“Scott Stearney was a decorated naval warrior. He was a devoted husband and father, and he was a good friend to all of us,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said in a statement Saturday. “The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Bahraini Ministry of Interior are cooperating on the investigation, but at this time no foul play is suspected.”
This is a sad reminder that suicide is a brutal affliction for service members, from lowly privates all the way to generals and admirals.
Isn’t it amazing how many SUCCESSFUL, well adjusted individuals all of a sudden decide to “commit suicide?” Need to find out whom he was associated with and what he was into
My first thought..
Doubt is good, evidence is better.
Wonder what he had on the Clintons?
