Below Deck: Season 1's Captain Mark Howard Found Dead At His Home

Below Deck Mediterranean's Captain Mark Howard has reportedly died at his home this week. Captain Mark first appeared on the seaside reality TV show during season 1. A statement has been released following his death. Captain Mark was 65 years old.

Captain Mark starred in Below Deck Mediterranean season 1 where he put his all into maintaining the safety of his crew while also prioritizing the needs of all of his guests, and is generally known for his kind but exceedingly professional and no-nonsense attitude. Captain Mark was married to Susan Howard. He appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean for only one season before being replaced by Captain Sandy in Below Deck Mediterranean season 2. Captain Sandy has received mixed reviews from fans and crew members alike during her time on the show since season 2.

According to a police report obtained by Us Weekly Captain Mark was found dead at 65 years old on Wednesday by his wife Susan. She was reportedly returning home from a trip when she discovered him at home. The circumstances surrounding the beloved Captain's death are somewhat cloudy. The Fernandina Beach Police Department reports that there were "blood droplets on the floor that appeared suspicious in nature" near his body.

It has also been reported that he is suspected to have passed away a few days before he was discovered by his wife. Following his passing, Bravo released a statement regarding the situation, showing their support for those who were close to the late Captain. “Our thoughts and sincerest sympathies are with the family and friends of the respected Captain Mark Howard," said Bravo. Bravo noted Captain Mark's accomplishments, saying "as the captain of the first season of ‘Below Deck Med,’ he will always be remembered for his many contributions and mentorship and will forever remain part of the Bravo family.”

Though the situation surrounding the cause of the Below Deck Mediterranean star's death seems to still be under investigation, few details have been released in regards to any suspicions investigators may have currently. Captain Mark kept to himself in the years following his appearance on season 1, and at only 65 years of age, his passing most likely comes as a terrible surprise for Captain Mark's family and loved ones. He will be certainly be missed by fans, family, friends, and coworkers alike, including former costar Hannah Ferrier, who has noted that Captain Sandy's attitude is a stark contrast to the kind nature of Captain Mark in the past.
