David Cox (Marine)

David Cox (died 1994) was a U.S. Marine who was found murdered in Medfield, Massachusetts. Aaron Sorkin's 1989 play A Few Good Men and the 1992 film adaptation of the same name were based partly on events that Cox was a part of while he was in the Marines.

Cox felt that the movie distorted the circumstances surrounding his being convicted of simple assault, though he resumed his military career after his court-martial. Cox was reported missing on January 6, 1994, by his roommate. Cox's murderer has not yet been found.
