WASHINGTON—As Pentagon leaders continue to grapple with suicide and alcohol-related deaths within the rank-and-file of the U.S. military despite prevention efforts to stem both, three U.S. Navy sailors died last week—two from an apparent suicide and one from an alcohol-related incident, Newsweek has learned.

Cryptologic Technician (Collection) First Class Steven G. Dujmovic passed away in Island County, Washington, due to an apparent suicide on Monday, detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff's Office told Newsweek. Cryptologic Technician Networks Second Class Quinn T. Teeter also passed away in his residence in Jessup, Maryland, due to what investigators believe to be suicide.

The third sailor, Cryptologic Technician (Networks) Third Class Ian B. Younger, died from over drinking in his residence in Glen Burnie, Maryland, according to U.S. Navy sources familiar with the matter, who spoke to Newsweek under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
