A highly decorated Navy officer, who had just recently taken command of SEAL Team 1, was found dead in his San Diego home Monday, according to reports.He was 47.

Commander Robert “Bobby” Ramirez’s cause of death is unknown as police continue their investigation.

“Bobby was an outstanding leader, devoted husband and father, and a good friend to us all,” Capt. David Abernathy, commanding officer of Naval Special Warfare Group 1, who is in charge of all San Diego-based SEAL teams, said in a statement to Navy Times.

Foul play is not suspected in Ramirez’s death, Abernathy said.

Ramirez, who enlisted in the Navy in 1996, took command of SEAL Team 1 last month.

Ramirez is the second SEAL team commander to have died in the past year.

Commander Brian Bourgeois, who commanded SEAL Team 8 in Virginia Beach, died in December 2021 after falling from a helicopter during a training operation.
