NORFOLK, Va. — A missing Navy sailor whose body was found in the waters near Naval Station Norfolk last month died by suicide, according to the medical examiner. Isaac Morris was 22 years old.

The death is a painful reminder of an ongoing crisis for one family who also lost their own son to suicide.

Teri and Patrick Caserta’s son, Brandon, took his own life at Naval Station Norfolk in 2018. Since then, they have been pushing for service members to have more options to address their mental health.

“It just completely breaks our heart every time we hear of a suicide anywhere,” Teri Caserta said.
