KABUL, Afghanistan, July 29 (UPI) -- The second U.S. sailor missing in Afghanistan since last weekend is dead, a Pentagon official said Thursday.

The sailor was one of two military personnel involved in a firefight in eastern Afghanistan last week after they were reported missing, CNN reported.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Justin McNeeley, 30, of Wheatridge, Colo., and Petty Officer 3rd Class Jarod Newlove, 25, of Renton, Wash., were reported missing Friday in Afghanistan's Logar province. McNeeley's body was found Sunday after an extensive search, the Defense Department said.

The name of the sailor found Thursday wasn't released but Pentagon officials said they would issue an official announcement, CNN said. Newlove had been listed as duty status whereabouts unknown, the Pentagon said.

Taliban militants had said they captured Newlove after the firefight, a Pentagon spokesman said.
