Diana Stancy Correll<\/strong><\/p>\n A Navy sailor who suffered a training exercise mishap at Aviation Rescue Swimmer School in Pensacola, Florida, died Tuesday.<\/p>\n Airman Nathan Burke became unresponsive April 5 as he was completing a training evolution in the pool at Naval Air Station Pensacola, according to the Navy. He was taken to Baptist Hospital.<\/p>\n \u201cParamedics responded and achieved a spontaneous return of circulation and pulse. He was transported to the hospital and was placed on life-support,\u201d the Navy said in a news release Wednesday. \u201cOur thoughts and prayers remain with the family, shipmates and friends of Airman Burke during this extremely difficult time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He was reportedly involved in “a high-risk training evolution” in the pool which does little to narrow down the cause. If memory serves all the pool evolutions could be considered high risk to some extent. Deepest condolences to family and friends- fair winds and following seas, Airman Burke.<\/p>\n Navy Times<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
