BBC web site is stating that it was a Royal Marine and the incident occured on Sennybride.
I don't know which Commando Unit or company is currently excersising over there.

Yes. Happened on Monday. No, you can't have the facts until they are released properly, which should be soon.
Don't guess the facts on this one, or speculate please......

A brave young man, training for exacting duty. Such men are a rare find, and this is a sad loss.
His family can be proud.
