Navy SEAL candidate death: Father of SEAL trainee who died in 2016 speaks out amid renewed calls for justice

EXCLUSIVE: The father of a U.S. Navy SEAL candidate who died during a training exercise in 2016 has a message for the family of recently fallen Seaman Kyle Mullen amid renewed calls for justice for his son.

Lovelace, 50, has sought answers in the death of his own son, James "Derek" Lovelace, who died during a SEAL training exercise in May 2016. Since then, Lovelace said, the U.S. Navy and officials have falsified information related to the 21-year-old’s death, and has never acknowledged any wrongdoing at the hands of those involved in this death.

"I’m kind of reliving my son’s incident six years ago all over again," Lovelace said. "It’s a sad world when this is what it takes for me to get some attention for my son: another young man dying."
