The wife of a US Army captain who died while he was on Skype with her says she saw a bullet hole in the closet behind him after he collapsed.
An Army spokesman says medic Bruce Kevin Clark died of natural causes while he was serving in Afghanistan.
His wife, Susan Orellana-Clark, made a statement on Sunday saying she doubts that assessment.
‘(Capt) Clark was suddenly knocked forward,’ Mrs Clark said in remarks released by her brother.
‘The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of Capt Clark’s wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole.’
Mrs Clark sat in in El Paso, Texas, and watched the computer screen helplessly for two hours on Monday as she frantically tried to contact her husband’s colleagues 8,000 miles away in Afghanistan to get him help.
Finally, two Army personnel arrived in Capt Clark’s room and checked his pulse. They did not, however, tell Mrs Clark what had happened to her husband, the family said.
A spokesman at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in Texas, where Capt Clark was stationed, told MailOnline on Friday that the officer’s death came from natural causes and was not combat-related or suicide.
