The Washington Post: The drowning death of a U.S. sailor in Navy SEAL training has been ruled a homicide, with a medical examiner in San Diego determining that a SEAL instructor dunked the sailor in a swimming pool at least twice despite prohibitions against doing so.
Seaman James Derek Lovelace, 21, of Crestview, Fla., died May 6 during the famously difficult Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) course at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in California. His death was at least the third linked to SEAL training in the past year; two other students have committed suicide since November after washing out of the program.
