It’s been two months since a SEAL candidate died at a Coronado hospital after completing training known as “Hell Week.” KPBS Military Reporter Steve Walsh says the cause of death still hasn’t been released.
Dick Couch, a retired SEAL who has consulted with Naval Special Warfare for 30 years, said the SEALs have made changes after previous basic training deaths, including allowing anyone to call"safety halt" for any reason. Mullen had finished Hell Week the morning of the day he died. The Navy says he was not in active training when he was transported to the hospital. According to the death certificate, Mullen died at Sharp Coronado at 5:35 p.m. No operation was performed. His body was released to his family two weeks later. Couch said he expects changes to SEAL basic training, called Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL or BUD/S.
