Denied
The Board denied service connection for the cause of death due to prostate cancer, finding that it was not causally or etiologically related to Camp Lejeune contaminated water exposure.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not persuasively indicate a causal relationship between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his exposure to contaminants in the water supply at Camp Lejeune.
