Could not find a thread for Sgt Melgar.
Late last month we learned that two Navy SEALs were under investigation for the mysterious death of an Army Green Beret in June. It appears Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar, 34, died in embassy housing in Bamako, Mali on June 4. The Intercept reported that one of the SEALs is Petty Officer Anthony DeDolph, a former professional MMA fighter; the other has yet to be publicly identified.
The SEALS initially said they found Melgar dead in the quarters they shared, attempted to revive him, then brought him to an emergency clinic. Then the autopsy found Melgar had died of homicide by asphyxiation, and they changed their story.

Logan Melgar hadnt had a drink on June 4.
The Green Beret sergeants dry day became a key to unraveling the narrative spun by the elite Navy commandos whom military investigators now suspect killed him, officials familiar with the case said.
Melgar, a staff sergeant in the Armys 3rd Special Forces Group, was specifically selected for an intelligence operation in the West African nation of Mali. He was well respected by the American Embassy staff and the partner forces there, a former U.S. Africa Command official said. But shortly before he died, Melgar told his wife that he had a bad feeling about two of his partners in that effort, both of whom were members of SEAL Team Six.

The Navy SEALs being investigated in the strangulation death of Army Sgt. Logan Melgar offered the Green Beret a cut of some dirty military money hed discovered they were pocketing but he refused, according to a report.
Sources told the Daily Beast that Melgar discovered their scheme which involved skimming cash from a fund used to pay informants and confronted the two men about it.

He was killed for being honest and respectable.
