(WASHINGTON, D.C.) On July 15, 2018, a U.S. Secret Service Special Agent suffered a severe cerebrovascular accident in Scotland where he was traveling in support of Presidential Protection. It is with great sadness and regret to report that the agent, a 19-year Secret Service veteran and dedicated professional of the highest order, passed early this morning on July 17, 2018, in Scotland. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by members of his immediate family and his extended Secret Service family.
The agents name is intentionally being withheld to respect the familys privacy and allow time to complete personnel and family notifications. We ask for your patience as we work to support the agents family and co-workers following this loss of a dedicated career public servant.
Finally, the Secret Service thanks the medical personnel in Scotland, in addition to the members of the White House Medical Unit and Police Scotland who provided exceptional care and support for a member of our family.
Additional information will be posted on the www.SecretService.gov site at the appropriate time.
