I heard a report that the diver was found unresponsive on the bottom with his regulator out. Any more news/updates?

The news that I was watching was interviewing the diver who brought him to the surface. According to his statement on the news, he was found with his reg out and his inflator hose disconnected. Have not heard anything else since then.
