Father Of Miramar Marine Found Dead Talks To 10News

Cpl. Alan R. Bays Jr. Pronounced Dead En Route To Hospital

SAN DIEGO -- The father of a Miramar-based Marine who was found unconscious in his barracks spoke to 10News on Friday.

Cpl. Alan R. Bays Jr. of Cincinnati was found unconscious in his barracks on April 28, according to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar's public affairs office. Bays was pronounced dead en route to the hospital.

Bays was recovering from a head injury at Miramar after he was critically injured in Yuma, Ariz.

Bays' father, Alan Bays Sr., believes his son was training in Arizona to prepare for his second deployment to Afghanistan.

"They told me basically that my son had died as a result of injuries while training for redeployment to Afghanistan," said Bays Sr.

Bays was a flight equipment technician with the Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 462, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in October 2007.

After Bays was injured on April 16, he first went to Yuma Regional Medical Center. Then, he was airlifted to Phoenix Memorial Hospital where he stayed for four days. On April 20, Bays was driven back to Miramar where he stayed until April 28, the day he died.

"I don't see how you could discharge somebody from the hospital after four days… and then eight days later he dies," said Bays Sr.
