“Navy criminal authorities are investigating whether two members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team 6 strangled an Army Green Beret on assignment in Mali in June, military officials say. Staff Sgt. Logan J. Melgar, a 34-year-old veteran of two deployments to Afghanistan, was found dead on June 4 in the embassy housing he shared in the Malian capital, Bamako, with several other Special Operations forces assigned to the West African nation to help with training and counterterrorism missions,” the New York Times reported.
The deceased officer’s superiors in Stuttgart, Germany, suspected foul play and commenced investigations within 24 hours of his death. A military medical examiner concluded the cause of death to be a homicide — strangulation.
