The Navy said the cause of death was not immediately known and the matter was under investigation. The sailor's name was being withheld until 24 hours after his family was notified, in accordance with Navy policy.The SEAL program tests physical and psychological strength along with water competency and leadership skills. Hell Week, which comes as at the end of the first three weeks in the assessment and selection program in Coronado, California, pushes candidates to the limit.
