The Department of Defense says a Navy sailor from St. Louis died in a helicopter crash in the middle east. Sean Sullivan was 40.

The helicopter went down in Oman on Thursday. Investigators say they've ruled out hostile action, but haven't said what else may be responsible.

Meanwhile, Governor Nixon has ordered flags at state buildings in Boone County to be flown at half staff through Friday to honor Army Specialist Sterling Wyatt.

Wyatt was 21, killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. He was from Columbia.
