One Navy SEAL candidate died and a second was in the hospital after falling ill just hours after they successfully completed the grueling Hell Week test that ends the first phase of assessment and selection for Navy commandos, the Navy said Saturday.
The Navy said neither one had experienced an accident or unusual incident during the five-and-a-half-day Hell Week
The test is part of the SEALs BUD/S class, which involves basic underwater demolition, survival and other combat tactics. It comes in the fourth week as SEAL candidates are being assessed and hoping to be selected for training within the Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. The Navy said the cause of death was not immediately known and was under investigation. The sailor's name was being withheld until 24 hours after his family was notified, in accordance with Navy policy.
