It is with sadness that we advise you of the recent death of Captain David Seath, aged 31, who was a Fire Support Team Commander with 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery. Captain Seath collapsed and died during last weekend's London Marathon.

Captain Seath collapsed just three miles short of the finish line from a suspected cardiac arrest on Sunday. He was taken to St Thomas' Hospital but he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. His mother Libby said on Monday that her son had "lived life on the edge and to the full", while senior army colleagues described Mr Seath as an "outstanding officer".
