text: This story emerged last week as a sad, yet unusual death of a U.S. soldier deployed to Afghanistan. 
   
   Capt. Bruce Clark, 43, was Skyping with his wife from Tarin Kowt Afghanistan, about 85 miles north of Kandahar, April 30, during one of their scheduled calls when he pitched forward unresponsive. 
   
   More than 7,000 miles away in their El Paso home, his wife Susan frantically reached out to Tarin Kowt emergency base services, but it took a full two hours before anyone came to her husband's aid and by the time they arrived, he was pronounced dead. 
   
   Susan originally said only that her husband showed no alarm or discomfort, and she was awaiting the military's decision on the cause of death. 
   
   But when the Army came out ruling Clark died from natural causes, Susan decided it was time to speak up about what she believes she saw. 
   
   In a statement released by the family, Susan describes what she witnessed in the moments leading up to her husband's death, and in the two hours their Skype chat remained running. 
   
   Via Military Times: 
   
   “Clark was suddenly knocked forward,” the statement said. “The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark’s wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole.” 
   
   “After two hours and many frantic phone calls by Mrs. Clark, two military personnel arrived in the room and appeared to check his pulse, but provided no details about his condition to his wife,” the statement said. 
   
   Susan says she released the information to “to honor my husband and dispel the inaccurate information and supposition promulgated by other parties.” 
   
   The military says it took so long for help to arrive because Susan's calls were routed through several stateside commands before reaching Afghanistan. 
   
   Officials familiar with the case also announced that while Clark's death was ruled non-suicide and non-combat related, cause of death will not officially be announced until toxicology and an autopsy have been concluded. 
   
   Clark joined the Army in 2006 after earning his nursing degree from SUNY Brockport. He is survived by his wife and two daughters. 
   
   By all accounts he was a good guy, a solid soldier, and will be sorely missed by his command and his family. 
   
   09:30 May 7: The Army officially announced it found no bullet wound on Capt. Clark's body. While looking for that announcement on Twitter, I noticed speculation over Clark's death is running wild, with some people claiming he was killed by a sniper. 
   
   Regardless of the military findings it looks like rumor could follow this story for some time. ||||| An Army nurse showed no alarm or discomfort before suddenly collapsing during a Skype video chat with his wife, who saw a bullet hole in a closet behind him, his family said Sunday.

   Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark's family released a statement describing what his wife saw in the video feed recording her husband's death in Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan. It's not clear how the bullet hole got in the closet. 
   
   "Clark was suddenly knocked forward," the statement from the soldier's family said. "The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark's wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole." 
   
   The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours on April 30 as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help. 
   
   "After two hours and many frantic phone calls by Mrs. Clark, two military personnel arrived in the room and appeared to check his pulse, but provided no details about his condition to his wife," the statement said. 
   
   In the statement, Susan Orellana-Clark said she was providing details of what she saw "to honor my husband and dispel the inaccurate information and supposition promulgated by other parties." 
   
   U.S. officials in Afghanistan referred questions to the Pentagon, which previously referred questions to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, where Clark was assigned. 
   
   The Pentagon said previously that Clark's death remains under investigation. 
   
   Clarence Davis, spokesman for William Beaumont Army Medical Center, declined to comment on Clark's family's statement. 
   
   Clark, 43, grew up in Michigan and previously lived in Spencerport, New York, a suburb of Rochester, his wife's hometown. He joined the Army in 2006 and was stationed in Hawaii before he was assigned to the medical center in El Paso. He deployed to Afghanistan in March. 
   
   Clark's body was returned Thursday to Dover Air Force Base. 
   
   He is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 3 and 9.
target: – The sad and strange tale of the US Army captain who died while Skyping with his wife gets even more mysterious: Army investigators say they found no bullet wound or any evidence of foul play in Bruce Kevin Clark’s death, but wife Susan Orellana-Clark has suggested her husband may have been shot. "Clark was suddenly knocked forward," reads a family statement released yesterday. "The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it.” Others, “including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of Clark's wife, also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole." Orellana-Clark says her husband showed no signs of alarm or discomfort before falling forward onto his desk during their Skype chat, which she kept open for two hours as she tried to get assistance for Clark, 43, who was at his base in Afghanistan. "We can positively say that Captain Clark was not shot," says an Army spokesperson, adding that there was no trauma on the body other than a possibly broken nose from when Clark hit the desk, the AP reports. The Army is waiting on complete autopsy results, but has ruled the death from natural causes, Business Insider adds—but speculation is rampant on Twitter, with some wondering if Clark was killed by a sniper.
