About Suicide of Harry Lew

  • Harry Lew (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Liào Ziyuán; March 31, 1990 – April 3, 2011) was a Lance Corporal in the United States Marines who committed suicide at Patrol Base Gowragi in Afghanistan, allegedly after being hazed by his fellow Marines. After investigation, three Marines stationed with Lew in Afghanistan, including his sergeant, were charged with hazing.
  • Two were acquitted in courts-martial.
  • The third pled guilty to lesser charges and was sentenced to limited punishment.
  • Lew was a nephew of Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-CA); she has introduced a bill to prohibit hazing in the military, as the Department of Defense does not track it, and not all services have policies about it.
