Kyle Mullen<\/p><\/div>\n

The Navy has recently identified the U.S. Navy SEAL candidate that died during “Hell Week.” His name is Kyle Mullen from New Jersey.<\/p>\n

He went to Yale and played college football before joining the Navy.\u00a0 It is being reported by the New York Post that Mullen died during an underwater exercise while attending BUD\/S.\u00a0 The Post uses the word “killed” but others claim it should be “died” vs. “killed.”<\/p>\n

I’m sure information will come out later to complete the facts.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody loved him,\u201d Guerreri said. \u201cProbably one of the best kids I ever had. Great, great kid on the field but even better off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n
