Congressional leaders say VA needs to better serve families of veterans who die by suicide

Chris Skinner, a 41-year-old Army veteran, was found dead in a pool in Myrtle Beach, SC, in September 2021, with both police and the coroner initially ruling it a suicide.
The coroner's office has reopened the investigation due to new evidence and inconsistencies in police and coroner reports about how Skinner entered the pool.
Tamra McDermott, Skinner's sister, stated that Chris was emotionally distressed after learning about the affair involving his wife, Suzie, and Pastor John-Paul Miller.
Witness testimony contradicts earlier statements made by Skinner’s wife, further raising questions about the circumstances of Chris Skinner's death.
