Death on the Cedarville

[ScubaScott]

Very sad to post something of this nature, but it shook me and our group up a little when we learned the information....

All this information is second hand and from the radio broadcast on the way to work this morning....

A 57 year old Mich. man died while diving the Cedarville approx. 10:30 am, Aug 31. Cause of death is under investigation, but initial speculation is saying a heart attack. He was diving a rebreather, and was found about 75' from the wreck in 108' by police dive team. His equipment was functioning properly.

Again, this is what we found out from our captain once we returned to port, and from a sketchy radio report this morning.

ICUROK, dgreatlakesdivr, ScubaScottE, and myself were on the Young when coast guard and 1 or 2 other boats made a bee-line for the Cedarville.... a link to Deb's post is here

Name has not been released yet, but my thoughts and prayers go to family and friends.....

My condolences also. This seems to have become a bit too common over the last couple of weeks........

Thanks Big-T..... the radio had said he was a Michigan Man, but I know that were several divers from Wisconsin here this past weekend, so that is likely the real deal....

Has any one heard any new information about the death on the Cedarville?

This is the latest article, but it is dated on the day after the initial release. Other than contacting the Local law enforcement doing the investigation, I think this is all we're gonna see.
