This is the best summary I could come up with:

One Navy SEAL candidate is dead and another is recovering after completing “Hell Week,” a grueling test early in the forces’ training program.

The second candidate, whose name has not been released, was in stable condition at Naval Medical Center San Diego as of Saturday.

Both candidates had completed Hell Week — an assessment during the first phase of Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUD/S) training — hours before reporting symptoms and receiving emergency care, the Navy said.

“We extend our deepest sympathies to Seaman Mullen’s family for their loss,” Rear Adm. H.W.

The BUD/S training is an early phase of the SEALs’ selection process that’s known as Hell Week because of its intensity.

Over the span of 5 1/2 days, candidates survive on no more than four hours of sleep, while undergoing a series of tests that involve running, swimming and other activities that test physical endurance and mental “toughness” and pain, according to the Navy SEAL website.
