ORANGE PARK, FLA. — The death of a Navy commander found in a room at the Astoria Hotel on Feb. 12 was ruled a homicide, the Orange Park Police Department announced Wednesday. The Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office made the ruling on Feb. 13 in the death of Cmdr. Alphonso Doss, 44, of Pensacola, according to the release from the OPPD. Doss' manner of death is not being released at this time while the OPPD and the Clay County Sheriff's Office investigate.
Doss reported to Naval Education and Training Command in Nov. 2011, according to the Navy.
While in Jacksonville, he was on Temporary Additional Duty orders at the Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit….
Noting that a gifted Navy Commander's death via Homicide as being highly unusual, we decided to probe further into the Commander's background. The following is what we found:
- Doss completed two combat Mediterranean deployments with Fighter Attack Squadron One Three Seven onboard the aircraft carriers USS Coral Sea (1989) and USS Forrestal (1991).
-Completed two secret counter-drug missions in the Caribbean and South America while stationed onboard USS Connolly (1997/1998).
-Doss was ordered by the Deputy Secretary of the Navy to assist in conducting the Annual Review Boards for suspected enemy-combatants held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
-Doss was charged with interviewing detainees and conducting boards to determine if the detainee in question should be released, transferred to another facility or be recommended for continued detention at Guantanamo Bay.
- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed admitted to Doss’ team that he was one of the masterminds behind 9/11….
ALWAYS pack when traveling. If circumstances won't allow it, find another way.
Husband went through SERE in ‘91.
Orange park is rife with thieves, loan sharks, drug dealers, male and female prostitutes, but once you leave the Casino racetrack it’s all okay.
Another Obama Lover bites the dust.
I suspect it ties in with the 9 to 30 bankers/business men that “killed themselves”
I used to live right across the street from the racetrack. It was a really good neighborhood then but before it was a casino/racetrack. Its still very unlikely to get murdered in the Astoria.
The other thing that I find strange is why was a naval commnader not staying on base at NAS? That is where they usually stay. My sister used to be in charge of putting up the VIP’s on base. Somebody kacked that poor guy.
Like the banker who shot “himself” like 7 times with a nail gun.
Sometimes a smoking gun isn’t.
Seems this commanders death was a bit more mundane ...
