U.S. Army Finds Soldier in Morocco
Introduction
The U.S. Army found the body of Specialist Mariyah Symone Collington in Morocco.
Main Body
Specialist Collington was 19 years old. She and another soldier, Lieutenant Kendrick Key, fell from a cliff on May 2. They were not working at that time. More than 1,000 people from the U.S. and Morocco searched for them. They used planes, underwater robots, and computers to look at a large area of the sea and coast. Specialist Collington started her work in the Army in 2024. She worked in Germany before she went to Morocco. The Army is still studying why the accident happened.
Conclusion
The search is over. The Army is now taking the soldiers back to the United States.
