Navy admiral Scott Stearney found dead in Bahrain

Navy admiral Scott Stearney found dead in Bahrain, no foul play suspected

(as was the case when recently The head of Russian military intelligence agency GRU, General Igor Korobov, died at the age of 62 after "a serious and long illness")

The Navy admiral in charge of the military branch’s operations in the Middle East was found dead in Bahrain on Saturday, the Navy said.

Vice Admiral Scott Stearney was found dead in his residence in Bahrain Saturday and no foul play is suspected, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson said in a statement. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Bahraini Ministry of Interior are cooperating on the investigation.

Stearney took over as commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the Combined Maritime Forces in May, where he commanded more than 20,000 U.S. and coalition sailors, Marines, Coastguardsmen, and civilians. Stearney served 36 years in the Navy.

The NCIS certainly hasn't spent the past 13-years (of their daily existence),...posting 27,055 opinion posts to the TD platform. Back at cha...:rofl:

From what I recall of my visits to Bahrain, suicide makes sense.

In fact there you go, retard.

Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, who oversaw U.S. Navy forces in the Middle East, was found dead Saturday in his residence in Bahrain, officials said. Defense officials told CBS News they are calling it an "apparent suicide."

In fairness, having a shitload of hooker hotels right outside the base entrance is probably a little bit too tempting....

RIP,...Admiral. Bahrain must be a real high-stress...snakepit...of a posting venue. Perhaps if Adm. Stearney had been posted at Olongapo, instead,...he would have fared much better...:chitown:
