Jose Eduardo Lopez-Cobena
Jose Eduardo Lopez-Cobena was a senior Non-commissioned officer, from Fort Carson, Colorado, who drowned while serving at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, on March 30, 2017.[1][2]
Lopez-Cobena was forty years old, when he drowned.[2] Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, reported that he was just shy of serving 20 years, the time when enlisted soldiers normally retire.
He drowned while he was off-duty, at Cable Beach, one of several beautiful beaches staff are allowed to use.[2] The circumstances of his drowning were not initially reported, and Carol Rosenberg reported that authorities had not announced who would be authorized to conduct an investigation into the death.
