Marine recruit, 19, dies during grueling 54-hour 'The Crucible' training exercise as he was pushed to his limits without food or sleep
2021-06-09
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Pfc. Dalton Beals, 19, died Friday during training at a Marine base on Parris Island

  • Marines spokesman Bobby Yarbrough, told Task & Purpose that Beals would be awarded the title of Marine posthumously

  • He is the seventh enlistee to die there since the year 2000; in 2016 one female recruit threw herself to her death after being subjected to verbal abuse

  • The Marines have opened an investigation into Beals' death

  • The teen's mom has described him as 'the most sincere, kindhearted, sweet and amazing young man'

#3  Could be sudden death syndrome. Like those athletes who just up and die in the middle of a game. Something undetectable until it suddenly popped up under these extream conditions and killed him.

#2  Haven't you heard? Going to make naughty language and hurt feelz DI's go away.

Recruit looks in decent shape, so underlying condition? Or did he literally push himself to death and join The Old Guard?

#1  I don't guess the woman who threw herself to death shouldn't have been trying to be a marine at all if she couldn't handle verbal abuse.
