Diver death at Palau on 21 January 2009 - does anyone have any more information?

Yes, I was on the Sam's Tours boat when it happened. The 33 year old male victim from London, who was a good diver, was scheduled to fly that day. He had been scuba diving for 3 days, but was free diving really deep (70 to 75 feet) because he was scheduled to fly. He had no buddy. He made the first dive ok, but on the second dive was found unconscious at 75 feet by the divemaster leading a group of scuba divers. Speculation is that he succumbed to shallow water blakcout as he surfaced from this deep breath hold dive, and sank back to 75 feet, where he came to rest on a ledge.

Thanks for the reports, folks. Was the accident reported in any newspaper? In Palau or the UK?
