The commander of the US Navy’s 5th Fleet, Vice Adm. Scott A. Stearney, was found dead in his home in Bahrain on Saturday, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson announced on Twitter.
According to Navy Times, Vice Adm. Stearney (58) had assumed command of 5th Fleet and Naval Forces Central Command in May, a job that oversees US naval operations in the Middle East.
Richardson said Bahraini authorities and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service are coordinating but that “at this time, no foul play is expected" in Stearney’s death.
“This is devastating news for the Stearney family, for the team at 5th Fleet and the entire Navy,” Richardson said. “He was a good friend to all of us.”
