Roosevelt sailor’s death under investigation

The death of a petty officer assigned to the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt is under investigation.

Boatswain’s Mate Third Class Ryan Keener died March 19 in his apartment in Hampton, Va., according to a post on the carrier’s official Facebook page from the ship’s commanding officer, Capt. D.C. Grieco.

“Rough Riders, friends and family members, regrettably, it is my sad duty to report that we have lost a shipmate,” he wrote, adding that Keener’s death is under investigation.

“I ask that you keep Petty Officer Keener and his family in your thoughts and prayers during these difficult times,” Grieco said.
