Research before commenting he was using peds. They were found in his car and there were texts on his phone saying he had an adverse reaction to one injection. This is an offence under military law. His heart was enlarge 64% from the peds. This definitely had an influence on the radical outcome.

[Bassmaster-xdpn]

Everyone should go watch the shawn ryan show with Captain brad geary. Answers all the questions on why he died.

[mikelee]

That’s how training has been for 60+ years

CASE DISMISSED.

Thank you lord, keep looking after these warriors.

[Stormgazer]

Some peoples bodies just can’t handle the incredible amounts of stress no matter how healthy they may appear.

[heatison]

He shouldn't have been using illegal steroids

[thomasswanson]

I hate this shit. Blaming a program that is effective and works when the person in question was also suspected of using peds and other drugs? How about we just stop with this?

[Aholes]

my prayers go out to kyle and his family. To make warriors, I mean full time warriors you need a pipeline like this to ensure their dedication and without quit mind set. 4 deaths in 20 years should not supersede the 70+ SEALS that have been killed in combat in that same time frame. Remember this is voluntary it’s a lifestyle a select few choose to take on. And of course God be with Kyle and his family during this difficult time.🇺🇸

PED's will mess you He made his choice

If there was water in his lungs then cause of death is obvious. People are known to have water in their lungs and die hrs up to days after the water aspiration incident.

He wasn’t a seal yet but he was an active duty member. He completed Hell Week, he’s dreams were stopped early due to his unfortunate death but I deeply would appreciate if the Seal Community provided him and his family his trident posthumously.

Prior to his unfortunate death, He sacrificed more than some people will ever sacrifice in a life time and payed the ultimate price for a spot at the table!

My deepest condolences to his family!

[mspeaches]

Condolences to all his family and friends!!!!

[susiek]

Imagine yes thousands have survived it and that is what has produced the best Special Forces in the world.

[facelesssman]

Because he was all doped on illegal performance enhancing substances! Not the Navy’s fault! It’s HIS own fault! Prayers to his family and friends…. Don’t do drugs… even steroids.

[jaselton]

He was vaccinated and on black market performance enhancing drugs

[selenajennifer]

Y’all know exactly what happened period.

[marzigeisha]

May he rest easy in the arms of his beloveds, may his family and loved ones find relief and grace in the outpouring of love.

It's tragic and any time health complications happen from now on, COVID complications - regardless of the acuity of illness or being asymptomatic), vaccine injury (an inevitable percentage experience it and in the numbers we're vaccinated, those losses are considered reasonable with C19) we must be looking at that. But I just don't trust it will always be shared at all let alone publicly.

That said SADS is Sudden Adult Death Syndrome and I've lost several male friends to it. So that too is an important condition to rule out.

[boromirofmiddleearth]

Very sad. But this is life in military training. My question is did he get a COVID19 vaccine, and if he had any reaction after the vaccine. How was his heart his cardiovascular health?

[travishancock]

Maybe if Kyle wasn’t taking P.E.D’s and other drugs he wouldn’t have passed away..?

[lawoftheland]

It’s annoying that the title is SEAL that died. He was at BUDS. He was trying to become one. He was not yet one
