Mark Daniel Kennedy, 43, of Baton Rouge, La., enlisted in 1995 and completed his final tour of duty in 2008, according to his record, sent in an email by Navy spokeswoman Lt. Lauryn Dempsey. The SEALs are an elite unit of the military's special operations forces. Kennedy served as a special operator first class, his record says.
Police in Africa say Kennedy and Jeffrey Reynolds, 44, were found dead Tuesday in a cabin on the Norfolk-based Maersk Alabama — a ship made famous in a 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates, an incident dramatized in the movie "Captain Phillips" starring Tom Hanks.
The ship was berthed in Port Victoria in the Indian Ocean island nation of Seychelles. Police there have given no cause of the deaths. They say the men worked for Virginia-based Trident Security, which was founded by former SEALs and employs former special warfare operators to provide security. Requests to Trident for information about the men have not been answered.

That's a damn shame. No cause of death yet? Any rumors?

Yep I knew him and his little brother from middle school. Very nice guy to all that knew him. Looks like and was a total badass yet nice to everyone he met. It's a shock for sure.

There are rumors. Not going to say.
I know this guy. Friends with his brother. I feel for this family. I actually hung out with Mark this time last year after the Central Mardis Gras Ball when a bunch of us rented a limo to go to L'auberge Casino. Last time I got to hang with him.

They haven't released a cause of death but have stated no foul play involved.

Could be gas or some kind of leak. That's what popped into my head.
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:03 pm to Camp Randall
hadn't thought about something like that, good point
Posted on 2/20/14 at 2:04 pm to LaBR4
Hell they could have been poisoned and foul play wouldn't be immediately evident.

He was a crossfitter I believe

Two dead in the same cabin, I believe. Could be CO poisoning, if they were using some kind of supplemental heat source or were cooking in the enclosed cabin - anything that generated combustion gases...
Could be drug ODs, if both were into it, shared, and got a strong batch...
Hard to believe that two young and presumably fit guys both coincidentally died of natural causes on the same night.

I highly doubt this.

According to the government official, who spoke on condition of not being identified, the presence of drug traces and paraphernalia "would suggest that their deaths were a result of drug overdose."
