Clearwater, Florida fatality November 7

[Kublai]

Has anyone found a more amplifying report than this one? It has been out there for about 12h with no update and I have not been able to find anything elsewhere more updated.

Diver dies after suffering heart attack off Clearwater Beach-- Diver dies after suffering heart attack off Clearwater Beach

A guy who was a diver suffered a heart attack.

What else is there to add? Sad that he was five miles out as that definitely prolonged the wait for immediate care.

uh....what precipitated the cardiac arrest?

uh....what precipitated the cardiac arrest?

Uh. Atherosclerosis.

A 37 yo with a heart attack. Most likely a freak accident?

 

[Jax]

Not necessarily. I have a friend that smoked. He had a heart attack at 40.

The sh!t will kill ya . . .

 

[PfcAJ]

So we don't know.

it could have been anything. CO can cause cardiac arrest.

There's more than one possible cause of cardiac arrest, you know. Coronary artery disease isn't the end all be all.

The title of the article should be corrected. They found the man in "cardiac arrest", which simply means the heart stopped, but the title of the article infers "heart attack".

So we really don't know what happened or what caused his heart to stop.

Cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction are two different things. Mi is commonly called heart attack where cardiac arrest simply is the heart stopped which could have had a bunch of of root causes that related to diving. An example is hypoxia which could have had a root cause of bad air or empty tank. With what we know it is way to early to say scuba caused related death or a death caused by a medical event that occurred while in or under the water

Sorry, dead is dead. Most diving deaths that go to a medical examiner are listed as: asphyxia related to drowning.
