The artcle snippet posted certainly makes sure every one of their readers unequivocally knows that the incident / accident is not 'suspicious'.
 
Standard uk police speak...

It's my local club training beach, maybe 9 metres max and about as benign as any dive site could be. I'm organising a get-back-in-the-water club dive there over the Easter weekend. A very good chance I know the deceased but still waiting on the authorities to release the name.

Weather conditions were reasonable but viz would have been around 2m. Night dive I think.
