Diver death in Japan 2 weeks ago

[rcs9250]

A friend was telling me about a female diver that died during a dive in water around Japan approximately two weeks ago. She was an Air Force officer on a recreational dive. Has there been any mention of this. I did a search and did not see anything.
I understand she suffered a brain anurism.
Thanks.

An Air Force captain died Saturday after scuba diving at a popular spot near Kadena Air Base, Japan.

Capt. Amy Brown went unconscious soon after surfacing at a Sunabe seawall dive spot, according to a base news release. Local authorities rushed her to a nearby naval hospital, but medical staff members couldn’t revive her.

Brown was a medical readiness flight commander assigned to the 18th Medical Support Squadron. The Air Force said her death is under investigation.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to Amy’s family,” said Brig. Gen. Ken Wilsbach, 18th Wing commander, in a news release. “We are saddened by the loss of a valued team member.”

According to Kadena, base personnel were involved in 34 water-related mishaps that ended in death or rescue from 2000 to 2009. That included 21 fatalities, mostly from scuba diving, snorkeling, cliff diving and wave watching.

Thank you. I was hoping for more than that, but I guess that's all there is.

Man to think I almost dived out of that same spot this past September. I ended up snorkeling because the bc that I rented kept deflating..

I dove there in September with my wife. It's very nice but is certainly beginner skill level safe. I haven't found any follow up on the report either and would be interested in finding out the cause.
