A sailor died earlier this month during a deployment aboard the USS Halsey when the ship was in the Indian Ocean, the Navy said.

Gunner’s Mate 3rd Class Elijah Riddle, 30, was found unresponsive in the berthing area of the Halsey on March 16 while the ship was underway in the Indian Ocean, according to the 7th Fleet, which is responsible for operations in the Western Pacific and Indian oceans. Efforts to revive Riddle were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead.

“A Special Psychiatric Rapid Intervention Team has been deployed to the ship, and grief and counseling services are being provided to our sailors,” the 7th Fleet said.

The statement did not provide further information about Riddle’s death, which is under investigation.

“Throughout his life, Elijah possessed an unwavering commitment to his loved ones,” his obituary reads. “His kindness knew no bounds, and he approached every interaction with empathy and compassion. Whether it was lending a helping hand or offering words of encouragement, Elijah’s presence had a remarkable impact on those fortunate enough to cross his path.”

The Halsey is part of the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group, which deployed to the Pacific in January. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is based out of San Diego.

Riddle is at least the second sailor in recent weeks to die aboard a Navy warship.

Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Oriola Michael Aregbesola, 34, died Wednesday after being lost overboard in a noncombat-related incident aboard the USS Mason. The incident is under investigation, the Defense Department said Saturday.

The Navy in a statement did not say whether Aregbesola jumped or fell into the Red Sea.

The Mason, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, is part of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group. The group deployed from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., in mid-October and are postured in and near the Red Sea to deter aggression from Iranian-backed Houthi militants determined to disrupt commercial shipping in the region.
