Dane Partridge died after sustaining injuries fighting alongside Ukrainian forces. He laid in a coma for eight days and passed away on Tuesday,
An American veteran and father of five died on Tuesday after sustaining injuries fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in the east of the country, his sister toldPartridge and the other men he was with were clearing trenches when they were ambushed by two Russian vehicles, Corry said. The men were caught in a firefight. Partridge received shrapnel in his brain and suffered from a broken neck and injured arm, Corry said.
Earlier on Thursday, a State Department spokesperson confirmed that a US citizen recently died in the Donbas region of Ukraine but they did not confirm their identity."He had a spiritual conviction to just go. He did not have a plan aside from putting on his backpack and showing up in Poland and figuring it out from there," Corry said.
"He said it was something that he'd never encountered before," Corry said of Partridge's descriptions of his time in Ukraine. "It was more than what he had personally experienced in Baghdad." Partridge's body will be returned to the US, Corry said. It is currently in transit back from Ukraine, she added. The family plans to bury Partridge in a Veterans Affairs cemetery in Idaho, she said.
