This one is a little more immediate.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elpasotimes.com\/news\/ci_20545474\/wife-beaumont-nurse-died-while-skype-chat\">El Paso Times<\/a> reports that the wife of Army Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark, 43, of Spencerport, N.Y, a nurse, says that she watched his death during their regular Skype chat Monday night. The article doesn&#8217;t give the details of his death, and neither does the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.defense.gov\/releases\/release.aspx?releaseid=15244\">DoD news release<\/a> identifying him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A statement from the family said they are waiting for results of a military investigation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bruce&#8217;s wife tragically witnessed her husband&#8217;s death during one of their regular Skype video chats,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the time of the incident, the family was hoping for a rescue and miracle, but later learned that it was not to be,&#8221; according to the family&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Although the circumstances were unimaginable, Bruce&#8217;s wife and extended family will be forever thankful that he and his wife were together in his last moments.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I just can&#8217;t imagine&#8230;but I think the Army needs to be a little quicker to bring out the circumstances, because a nurse&#8217;s death seems a little remote in relation to the battlefield. I&#8217;m not going to speculate on the cause of the captain&#8217;s death, but it seems a little strange that the Army is taking this long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, we discussed the wife who was notified of the death of her husband &hellip; <a title=\"Wife watches husband&#8217;s death live on Skype\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29816\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Wife watches husband&#8217;s death live on Skype<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29816\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
