Fire and Emergency Medical Services, said in a statement Tuesday that emergency service personnel \u201cresponded to a cardiac arrest\u201d near an intersection a block away from Smith\u2019s residence at Marine Barracks Washington on Sunday at 4:58 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a sudden cardiac arrest, which can occur after a heart attack, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/heart-attack\/about-heart-attacks\/heart-attack-or-sudden-cardiac-arrest-how-are-they-different\" target=\"_blank\">the heart malfunctions<\/a> and stops beating, according to the American Heart Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gray said his department doesn\u2019t identify its patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBystanders called 911 and began CPR after witnessing an adult male collapse on the sidewalk while running\u201d in the area of 7th Street and G Street Southeast, Gray said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gray said that EMTs and paramedics performed CPR on the man and took him to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokeswoman for Marine Barracks Washington referred Marine Corps Times to Stenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the day of his medical emergency, Smith was supporting runners at the Marine Corps Marathon in Arlington, Virginia. The weather was so warm and muggy that marathon organizers <a href=\"https:\/\/wtop.com\/local\/2023\/10\/marine-corps-marathon-closing-early-due-to-humid-weather\/\">closed the race early<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heckl said in a statement Tuesday his thoughts and prayers were with Smith and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn typical Marine fashion, I am the next Marine up,\u201d Heckl said. \u201cThis is what we do, as so many have done before us throughout the history of our Corps.

David Berger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was the White House\u2019s pick to become the next commandant, but his confirmation was held up in the Senate by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuberville has placed a hold on confirming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/3573660\/pentagon-official-underscores-impact-of-senate-hold-on-dod-nominees\/\">378 senior military nominees<\/a> through the typical process of providing unanimous consent, in protest of a Pentagon policy of providing time off and travel reimbursements for troops who seek abortions out of state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate in September <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/09\/21\/the-marine-corps-finally-gets-an-official-top-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed three top nominees<\/a>, including Smith, by voting on them individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Smith simultaneously was the acting commandant and the assistant commandant, he told reporters that he was maintaining a schedule that was \u201cnot sustainable\u201d and sleeping approximately five hours a night.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/09\/18\/as-both-the-no-1-and-no-2-marine-his-schedule-is-not-sustainable\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Gen.-Eric-Smith-Marine-Corps-DN-CONF-2.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">As both the No. 1 and No. 2 Marine, his schedule is \u2018not sustainable\u2019<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">\u201cI don\u2019t mind breaking my own back,\u201d said Gen.

Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, said Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter, \u201cGen.
