Navy Seaman Acting as NCIS Informant on Day of Death

October 13th, 2011

In February 2010, Navy seaman Kyle Antonacci was found hanging by a belt in the closet of his room at Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois. His cause of death was ruled asphyxia by hanging but how he died is yet to be determined. Kyle was 22 years old and had recently been the witness in the rape trial of a friend and fellow seaman.

His death has been under investigation by the Lake County Coroner’s Office and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) for the past 20 months.

Positive their son did not commit suicide, Kyle’s parents, of Hicksville, N.Y., launched their own investigation into his death. The Antonaccis claim the details they’ve uncovered are both shocking and suspicious. Now, they believe their son’s hanging was actually a murder.
