Marine Corps to reexamine death of Central Ohio soldier

Republican Congressman Steve Stivers says the U.S. Marine Corps has granted his request to take a second look at the death of a soldier from London Ohio killed by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan a year ago. The family of 21-year-old Lance Corporal Josh McDaniels and some Marines believe the circumstances of his death might have been prevented. They say work to remove trees that hid people planting roadside bombs was halted and could have helped protect troops if it had continued.Mar
