On Friday, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) reported
the death of a Spokane, Washington Marine who died on New Year's
Day.
According to DoD, the death of
22-year-old U.S. Marine Sgt. Jacob
M. Hess is "under investigation." There are conflicting reports about
the cause of death in this incident.
DoD reported that the Marine
sergeant died on Jan. 1 "while supporting combat operations in Helmand Province"
located in the southern region of Afghanistan along
the Pakistan border.
On the day that Sgt. Hess died,
the U.S. and NATO-led International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF) reported that one of its service members had "died as a
result of a non-battle related injury in southern Afghanistan."
Although the ISAF report did not
mention Sgt. Hess by name, that was the only Jan. 1 death reported by both DoD
and the coalition force.
Helmand province is one of the
deadliest provinces in Afghanistan
for U.S.
and coalition forces.
Breitbart News recently reported
that U.S. military
fatalities in Afghanistan
reached 2,162 in 2013. Sgt. Hess's is the first American death of 2014 in Afghanistan.
According to DoD, Sgt. Hess
"was assigned to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26, Marine Aircraft
Group 26, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C."
The Pentagon did not immediately
answer requests for comment.
