COLUMBUS -- A Navy sailor from Columbus has died in Dubai.
The Department of Defense said Petty Officer First Class Paris S. Pough died Friday during a port visit to Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates. Officials did not release the cause of death.
The 40-year-old Pough was assigned to the USS Carl Vinson, which is based in San Diego. According to the ship's Facebook page, Pough, a hull technician, died as a result of a noncombat-related incident in the port city.
The Defense Department lists Pough as being from Columbus, but he has an address listed in Kingsland in South Georgia.
A woman who answered the phone at that number said he has four children, ages 12 to 1. She declined comment.
