The sailor, who tested positive for the disease on March 30, was discovered unresponsive on April 9 and placed in the intensive care unit of the Navy's hospital in Guam, where the Roosevelt is docked.

Modly had earlier fired the Roosevelt's captain, Brett Crozier, after his worries about the shipboard outbreak and warning that it could dangerously incapacitate much of the crew became public.
The controversial firing sparked questions over whether the Navy hierarchy had ignored Crozier's internal requests in March to evacuate and test most of the 4,800 crew in Guam in order to stop the epidemic and clean the warship.Related stories
