Kyle Mullen, a Navy SEAL candidate, died hours after completing 'hell week' training. His mother told ABC News his death could have been prevented.
The death of a Navy SEAL candidate is under investigation after 24-year-old Kyle Mullen passed away just hours after completing "Hell Week" training. Toni Yates has the story."I opened the window. I said, 'Is he in the hospital?' They said, 'No ma'am.' They said, 'Can we come in?' And I let them in, and I said, 'He's not coming home, is he?' And they said,"No ma'am, he's not coming home,'" she said.
From her training as a nurse, Regina Mullen said she believes Kyle had SIPE, or swimming-induced pulmonary edema. This occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs without causing choking."He most likely couldn't breathe, and he probably suffocated from his own bodily fluids," she said. Regina said after flying out to San Diego, a commander told her that Kyle was twice offered medical treatment but refused.
