A U.S. Marine, 21-year-old Chukwuemeka E. Oforah, tragically died after falling overboard from the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima. The U.S. Army reported the incident as part of two recent events concerning its naval contingent deployed in the Caribbean. Despite a comprehensive 72-hour search and rescue operation involving multiple naval ships and aircraft, including a Reaper drone, Oforah was declared dead shortly after.
