WASHINGTON - A sailor aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, which docked in Guam after cases of the coronavirus began spreading on the ship, has died after receiving treatment in intensive care, the US Navy said in a statement.He was found unresponsive during a medical check on April 9 and died from complications related to the virus on Monday , according to the statement.
The death comes about two weeks after the captain of the Roosevelt, Mr Brett Crozier, was dismissed by then acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly for writing a letter late last month warning the service about the potentially dire situation aboard the carrier because of the outbreak. The letter, which leaked to several media outlets, said,"We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die."
Mr Modly last week resigned after widespread criticism of his move and subsequent comments criticising Mr Crozier to his crew.
