An Ocala man serving as a Marine in Iraq died in what was described as a "non-hostile incident," U. S. Department of Defense officials said today.
Lance Cpl. Patrick A. Malone, 21, died Tuesday in Anbar province. Details were not immediately available, spokesman Lt. Philip W. Klay said. An investigation is ongoing.
Malone was assigned to the 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Lejeune, N.C. and served as an anti-tank missileman.
This was his first deployment. He joined the Marine Corps Sept. 7, 2007 and was sent to Iraq in October.
