The Navy says a second SEAL has died following a training accident in a swimming pool at a base in Virginia.
Lt. David Lloyd tells media outlets that Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Brett Allen Marihugh of Livonia, Michigan, died Sunday.
The 34-year-old Marihugh and 32-year-old Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Seth Cody Lewis of Queens, New York, were found unresponsive on Friday at the bottom of the Combat Swimming Training Facility at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Lewis died Friday.

Probably pushing their training to the max. Two guys drowning in a pool seems quite suspicious the article does not mention bystanders or foul play. RIP guys.

I've been to that pool. It's a water obstacle course that puts you into the rafters. A fall could certainly knock you out. A collision could knock out 2. It was not an easy obstacle course. Swimming climbing jumping falling.
Sorta like the American Ninja course.

Sad news indeed. One of these Warriors swam with one of my cousins in high school.
Rest in Peace.
