SAN DIEGO(AP) - An 18-year-old Marine Corps recruit from Greenfield died Sunday after seeking treatment for an ankle rash.
Private Miguel Zavala, who had completed 23 training days, went to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Branch Medical Clinic for treatment of a rash on his left ankle. The rash spread to the rest of his body and Zavala was taken to the Naval Medical Center San Diego, where he died at 1:01 p.m., MCRD spokesman Lt. Mike Friel said.

The cause of death is under investigation and pending the results of an autopsy.
