Breaking News: 2 former Navy SEALs found dead aboard ship at center of ‘Captain Phillips’ saga

Two former Navy SEALs working as security contractors aboard the Maersk Alabama were found dead Tuesday aboard the container ship, a day after it was docked near an island northeast of Madagascar, according to the Trident Group, the security firm that employed the men.
The company said families of the two contractors have been notified and requested that their names not be released.
A spokesman from the shipping line only confirmed that two people had been found dead, citing the ongoing investigation.
The Maersk Alabama was featured in the movie 'Captain Phillips,' which was based on a pirate hijacking off the coast of Somalia in 2009. Phillips' ordeal galvanized the attention of the U.S. public to the dangers of operating merchant ships in the Horn of Africa, one of the busiest and most precarious sea lanes in the world.
To be sure, only seven months after the Phillips' saga, Somali pirates attacked the ship again but were repelled by gunfire and a high-decibel noise device on the container ship.
The Trident Group was established in April 2000 by U.S. Navy Special Operations Personnel, according to its website.
The Maersk Alabama had been docked in Victoria, Seychelles, which is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean.

    Does this has to do anything with what happened at the graveyard? Did the fight started among the dead? Is it possible why 42 tombs was broken?

    A concern citizen.

    Oyé, Demandez aux morts dans le cimetière, ce qui est vraiment arrivé aux deux SCELLÉS. Seulement les morts peuvent répondre, puisque je crois fortement que c'est où le combat a commencé. Les gens vivant dans cette zone doivent avoir vu ou ont entendu quelque chose. Je suggérerai qu'ils s'approchent de Christopher Gill et lui disent l'histoire entière.
