If this is real or not, there are numerous red flags.
If it is real, since when are Navy Seals, even former Navy Seals, going around injecting heroin. Does anybody question why heroin is suddenly killing people everywhere. In case you haven’t noticed, Google heroin and endless stories of overdose come up.
The town of Burlington, VT had 8 overdoses in 1 day yesterday. Opium related overdoses have surpassed car,accidents, becoming the NUMBER 1 cause of death in this country. I never saw this crap growing up in Miami.
You would never know because the media silence is defeaning. This is Obama’s America, and Americans are clueless.
What were they doing in Seychelles islands “known for rampant injectable heroin use”? (A recent phenomenon by the way) Africa has recently become a major distributor in the emerging heroin trade.
Who did the autopsy? Do the toxicologists have names? Are the bodies going to be returned to the US? Why did the medical report state alcohol, but not heroin, found in system? Most 3rd world countries aren’t known for their forensic medical skills. I cant imagine Mauritus being any better. Why wouldn’t they have been sent back to the US immediately?
Anyway you look at it it’s strange, just more proof to me that we have become a narco nation.
I don't know about these guys in particular, but plenty of vets who sustained injuries have problems with opiates, after being prescribed them as pain medication. Heroin is just another opiate to someone with a dependency.
"Does anybody question why heroin is suddenly killing people everywhere. In case you haven’t noticed, Google heroin and endless stories of overdose come up."
There is no mystery about it. Heroin has always been potentially lethal, but recently many drug dealers have been lacing their "heroin" with even more powerful prescription opiates. It happens frequently that when one of those batches hits the street, there is a wave of overdoses, as people are accustomed to a lower potency product. It's not a small difference we are talking about here; some of these prescription opiates are thousands of times stronger than heroin.
Opiate usage is a very common problem for veterans.

There have been waves of heroin overdoses before and there will be more again.
It is a recurring phenomenon.
What were they doing in Seychelles islands
Since they were guarding an Indian Ocean containership, I would guess that they were docked there for fueling or maintenance? Like hundreds of containerships do every year?
Who did the autopsy?
If it was a Maersk vessel, it would likely be a qualified examiner. This is not a fly by night company.
Are the bodies going to be returned to the US?
They will be returned to the next of kin. That's standard maritime practice.
Why did the medical report state alcohol, but not heroin, found in system?
The body processes different substances at different rates.
Why wouldn’t they have been sent back to the US immediately?
Why would they, exactly?
It’s the oxy effect. Oxycotin is an opiate, people got hooked on it starting with legitimate use, prescription mills kept people hooked. Now the fed gov and state govs have been putting a lot of pressure on the mills, it’s getting harder and harder to feed an oxy habit. But an oxy habit IS a heroin habit in disguise, so guess what people turn to. Only heroin strengths are a lot more random, a lot harder to control input, people OD.
It’s not to tough to imagine guys who spent their life in extremely hard physical exertion might have been prescribed some serious painkillers in their life, and used them long enough to get an oxy habit. Now they can’t get their oxy anymore and they follow the same path as everybody else. You’ve got to figure any ex-SEAL whose doing guard duty on a container ship probably isn’t on a straight an narrow path.
