[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Pfc. Dalton Beals, 19, died in June 2021 during training at a Marine base on Parris Island, South Carolina
- He was taking part in the Crucible – a grueling 54-hour combat-like training requiring physical strength and teamwork, with little food and sleep deprivation
- A damning internal report concluded that his death was 'likely avoidable' and puts blame on his senior drill instructor – who has not been identified
- The report says the instructor 'did not have the maturity, temperament, and leadership skills necessary'
- The instructor 'demonstrated little leadership over his team, and at times appeared disinterested in leading or supervising them,' the report adds
- Beals's mother, Stacie Beals tells DailyMail.com that as far as she knows her late son's senior drill instructor has not been punished
- There have been at least eight deaths of recruits at Parris Island since 2000, according to reports
