The top admiral overseeing US Naval forces in the Middle East, Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, was found dead in his residence in Bahrain on Saturday, the Navy said in a statement.
While his death is being investigated, officials say there is no evidence of foul play at this time.
"This is devastating news for the Stearney family, for the team at Fifth Fleet, and for the entire Navy," Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, told CNN Saturday. "Adm. Stearney was a decorated professional and a devoted father, a devoted husband and a good friend."

Maybe he slept with a pillow over his face like Scalia.

First thing to determine is any connections he had to the klintoon crime syndicate...

Most likely Deep State related, but I doubt we ever find out.

Well, as long as he died peacefully in his sleep.
Instead of screaming in terror, like his passengers.

He was very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
He understood equations, both the simple and quadratical.

After seeing mueller in action, I feel like anthing is possible.”
You take for granted that mueller is on our side.
(Just saying.)

Being an admiral, I imagine he could get away with it but...On his left shoulder, he appears to be wearing a South Carolina naval ensign from the Revolutionary War in green and black tones. Anyone have information on devices like that for sailors uniforms?
