Seal dies Fort Knox: A Navy SEAL died after the Humvee he was riding in toppled over.

Jonathan Kaloust, a special warfare operator third class, 23, of Massapequa, New York, died when the Humvee in which he was riding overturned at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, said Lieutenant David Lloyd, a spokesman for East Coast-based Navy Special Warfare Group 2, according to Reuters.

The Detroit Free Press reported that seven others were injured in the incident.

The Humvee flipped during a training exercise, on the evening of May 16. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Fort Knox has been used as a training post since World War II, according to USA Today. The Salt River is used for live fire exercises and other training about 320 days out of each year.
