Fox News
The family of Kyle Mullen, a Navy SEAL candidate who died of an unknown cause after successfully completing Hell Week, has released a statement thanking the public for its support and kindness after his death.
"Over the past few days, we have been awestruck at the outpouring of love and support that we have received," Mullen's family told Fox News Digital Saturday. "It is said in the Christmas classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ that ‘No man is a failure who has friends.’ If that is true, then Kyle is one of the most successful people to have ever walked this Earth."
Mullen died in California Feb. 4 of an unknown cause after successfully completing Hell Week, officials have said. The Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL candidate "was not actively training at the time of his death," the U.S. Navy confirmed in a Feb. 6 press release.
