Two U.S. Navy sailors died late final month inside days of their plane provider’s arrival at its new homeport in Japan, a spokesman for the ship confirmed this week.
The 2 sailors, assigned to the USS George Washington, died in separate incidents, in line with the Navy Instances. They have been recognized by Stars and Stripes as Petty Officer 2nd Class Cuyler Burnett Condon and Seaman Dimitri Isacc Morales.
Condon was discovered unresponsive in an on-base lodge room on Nov. 22 — the day the provider docked at Yokosuka Naval Base — whereas Morales was discovered someplace off base in Yokosuka three days later. Each have been pronounced lifeless on the scene.
No reason for demise was offered for both case. The Naval Legal Investigation Service (NCIS) is trying into each of the incidents, and dealing with native Japanese regulation enforcement on Morales’ case.
