Army captain died during Skype chat with wife from Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — An Army clinical staff nurse died Monday in Afghanistan as he was video chatting with his wife, his family told The Associated Press.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark, 43, of Spencerport, N.Y., died of natural causes, according to a spokeswoman at Beaumont Army Medical Center in Texas, where Clark was based.
Army officials are waiting for the results of an autopsy to determine the cause of death, but it was not combat related, the spokeswoman said.
“Bruce’s wife tragically witnessed her husband’s death during one of their regular Skype video chats on Monday,” Clark’s brother-in-law, Bradley Taber-Thomas, told AP on Friday. “At the time of the incident, the family was hoping for a rescue and miracle, but later learned that it was not to be.”
Clark is survived by his wife and two daughters.
