TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif.. — A 27-year-old Marine sergeant from Omaha, Neb., died of an apparent heart attack following a physical training session at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, base officials said Thursday.
Sgt. Scott Michael Kimsey, a native of Long Beach, was training with Delta Company at the Marine Corps Communication and Electronics School Wednesday when he collapsed, according to a statement released by the public affairs office.

Two Marines at the scene performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, briefly reviving Kimsey. He was taken to Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 8:46 p.m.

Kimsey was married.

Calls to the base were not immediately returned.
