Sarnia disc jockey dies after scuba diving

SARNIA- A well-known Sarnia radio broadcaster died Sunday shortly after he was pulled from the St. Clair River.
Mark Cartland, 41, was scuba diving south of the Blue Water Bridge with another man at about 11:40 a.m. when he was seen in distress.
The men, both experienced divers, surfaced quickly and tried to flag down help, police said.
Cartland, who was a disc jockey for rock station K-106.3, was pulled aboard a passing boat and raced ashore to a waiting ambulance. He was taken to Bluewater Health on Mitton Street. The cause of death hasn't been determined. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday.
Police didn't identify the other diver.
The Ontario Provincial Police said the divers may have been exploring the wreck of the Monarch, a 259-foot passenger ship that sank in 1906 off what is now the Point Edward Charity Casino.
The Ontario Provincial Police marine unit has taken Cartland's dive gear as part of an investigation, said John Reurink, OPP media relations officer.
Cartland was known as "Mr. Personality" as a radio announcer. As the winner of five Canadian country-music radio personality awards, he was known to local listeners as the voice of Sarnia's CKTY before it was taken off the air in 1998.
Since then, Cartland had been working part time at the rock station.
He was a graduate of Fanshawe College in London and had lived and worked in Sarnia since 1984.
