Diver Incident near Grimsby, Ontario

[rjk75]

Here's the online (http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/breakingnews/breakingnews_4727661.html) story
of an incident that happened near Grimsby, Ontario. I read a little more about it in
the print edition--they said it was a 44-year old man, had no vital signs, and not
much else. If anybody else knows more, please post.

Unfortunately the news is not good. He passed yesterday.

It seems he was a dedicated diver, a member of the local marine rescue unit. I could not find any details of what led to the tragedy.

So sorry to hear the results....What was the COD, has that been released yet ie diving related vs. general health problems ??? does anyone have a rough idea of the conditions @ dive time??.

There's no more info than what's been posted so far. I read two-days ago that the regional coroner conducted an autopsy, but was unable to determine the cause of death.

And the article went on to say (I'm paraphrasing) that the "office will continue its investigation to try to determine if the death was diving related or something else. Diving experts will also examine the victim's gear to see if equipment failure was a factor."

I'll keep an eye on the story and provide more details if they become available.

I live in the Grim - the family don't want any details released but the police are asking for witnesses...several boats assisted with the original rescue but nobody knows for sure why he lost consciousness....
