Non-combat deaths of USS Fort McHenry Sailors

Officials won’t release details into sailors’ deaths
Navy officials still decline to release the cause of death of two USS Fort McHenry sailors whose bodies were found in a Ghanaian hotel more than a month ago.

Officials have yet to complete the investigation, said Lt. Cmdr. Herb Josey, a spokesman for Naval Surface Force Atlantic in Norfolk, Va. Autopsies were done Jan. 5 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Officials also are awaiting toxicology results.

The bodies of Seaman Lonnie Davis Jr., 35, of Riverdale, Ga., and Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick Mack, 22, of Warren, Mich., were found New Year’s Day by a fellow sailor at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, the capital of Ghana. A third sailor with them was ill and taken to a local hospital, a Navy official said. The sailor has since returned to duty.
