Autopsy reports reveal why two recruits died at boot camp
By: Courtney Mabeus  


Two recruits learned that they had a rare blood disorder after they got to boot camp. It played a role in at least one of their deaths, according to autopsy reports obtained by Navy Times.

According to autopsy reports obtained by Navy Times, Seaman Recruit Kierra Evans, 20, collapsed while running during a Feb. 22 physical fitness assessment at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. She was taken to Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital and resuscitated but died later that night while in intensive care.

Two months later, 18-year-old Seaman Recruit Kelsey Nobles, of Mobile, Ala., collapsed while running her final physical test on a track in a Great Lakes gymnasium.
