Wasn't there an Admiral in the 90's that killed himself when it was discovered that he wore an undeserved medal?

I can't dredge up his full name but it was an Admiral Boo... and I believe the claim was untrue - he, in fact, HAD earned the medal. He killed himself because of the taint on his honor.

CNO Admiral Jeremy "Mike" Boorda, shot himself in the chest for a number of reasons including the fact that he was wearing Combat V devices on two medals that he was not entitled to and got caught.
