It was two SEALs on the Maersk Alabama

| February 21, 2014

I know there were stories flying around yesterday about the SEALs found dead on the Maersk Alabama, that only one was a SEAL, so I checked with Don Shipley and he verified that they were both former SEALs. From the Associated Press;

Drugs were in the room where two former Navy SEALs were found dead aboard the Maersk Alabama, a ship that was the focus of a 2009 hijacking dramatized in the movie “Captain Phillips,” a company spokesman said Thursday

[…]

On Thursday, police spokesman Jean Toussaint, noted that officials were awaiting autopsies and said, “As far as I know there is no evidence of physical trauma” on either man’s body. Speers said the Maersk Alabama was cleared to leave Seychelles following the onboard investigation and that it is already underway.

I’m not passing judgement or speculating on their deaths, just trying to get to the truth here. They both left us too soon. The drug angle is too far fetched, though, unless they were somehow murdered.

Would have to be some bad ass drugs for guys to OD at the same time. I’m still thinking it had something to do with bad ventilation.

CNN says traces of narcotics and hypodermic needles found with the bodies

Gents … again, no speculation. However, the circumstances are ending up exactly how I predicted it!

I didn’t buy the drugs angle either…

Just hope we find out the truth without a lot of phony CNN type media hype. They deserve to have the truth known about them.

Too strange, I’ve been following this, and it’s baffling.

Murder? Who attempts (and succeeds) to murder two former SEAL’s in the same room? Maybe some kind of Tan-belt Ninja?

Drugs? Even if they did use, they are hitting ports in foreign countries. WhoTF would risk incarceration in a foreign port on a drug charge? Some countries have really stiff drug policies. Hopefully we’ll get the real story eventually.

Brandon Webb over at SOFREP has a short write up regarding substance use…Some may know the ordeal of the late SEAL & Team 6 operator Adam Brown from book “Fearless” – Brandon touches on that in this article.

I’m thinking false planted evidence. But to what end, to divert from what truth?

When people use drugs, the drug, its metabalite, and the drug’s cutting agents can linger in the body for varying lenths of time. Testing of hair and body fat can reveal whether a decedent in drug-related death used drugs other than on the day of his demise and, if so, what sort of drugs were previously used. The problem here, of course, is that we have to trust the government’s investigation to buy the outcome. Good luck with that. can you say, “Benghazi?”

Metabolite, not metabalite.

Sounds odd to me.

This news release says they both died of respiratory failure.

DRUGS … tragic!
