On Tuesday, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Carroll identified the second recruit to die as 18-year-old Zachary Boland of Madison, Alabama, who passed away Nov. 4.
(FOX)- Carroll said Boland was found unconscious in his barracks bed around 8 p.m.
Carroll said emergency responders were called to the scene and they transferred Boland to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead 90 minutes later.
Meanwhile, Carroll said another recruit remains in critical condition after falling from a building Oct. 28. The recruit has not been identified, according to his family’s wishes, the spokesman said.
“The recruit arrived at Parris Island on Oct. 24 and was undergoing initial processing prior to beginning recruit training,” Carrol said. He fell from the second story of the recruit training center, the spokesman said.
Dingell said she wants to see complete investigations into all the incidents.
“The men and women who sign up to serve our country should not be dying in boot camp, and this third incident in eight months must be investigated thoroughly and expeditiously,” the congresswoman said.
Ed Buice, a spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, said it is conducting separate investigations into Boland’s death and the Oct. 28 fall.
