The West Point cadet killed in a horrific training accident was laid to rest over the weekend in a service attended by more than a thousand mourners, including former President Clinton.

Slain cadet Christopher Morgan’s dad was once a member of Clinton’s security detail.

The funeral service was held Saturday at the US Military Academy for Morgan, who was killed earlier this month when the armored personnel transport he and 21 others were riding in flipped and fell several feet down a steep embankment.

Morgan, a 22-year-old West Orange, NJ, native, was “an exemplary classmate and teammate” who was “tremendously proud to be a cadet,” said Maj. Gen. Steve Gilland, West Point’s Commandant of Cadets.

Among the approximately 1,500 mourners was Clinton, who spoke briefly, according to ABC 7 – New York.

Several internal probes have been opened into the fatal training exercise carried out in rough, mountainous terrain near West Point — about 55 miles north of Manhattan — that also left 19 cadets and two US Army soldiers injured.
