The Public Prosecution is investigating the death of a Ukrainian citizen in Dahab, South Sinai.
A statement by the Public Prosecution said that it had received a notification from the "Dahab Central Hospital" on May 28 that it had received the body of a Ukrainian citizen after he drowned, and that a friend of his - of the same nationality - who was with him stated that during their dive to a depth of 40 meters, the deceased quickly climbed to the surface of the water. He tried to stop him for fear of his life, but it did not succeed, and when they reached the surface the deceased removed his breathing apparatus and was still alive, so his friend tried to aid him and managed and another Egyptian diver to take him out to the beach and took his first aid, but he died after he was taken to the hospital, and his friend confirmed that no one accused him in death and that it is not under any criminal suspicion.
The Public Prosecution asked the friend of the deceased and the owner of the diving center who used his equipment aforementioned on the day of the incident, and the trainer who was accompanying them. They confirmed that the deceased possessed an international license allowing him to dive a depth of one hundred meters under the surface of the water, and that his death came as a result of extreme fatigue following his sudden ascent to the surface, confirming that there is no criminal suspicion in it, as well as the police investigation confirmed this.
The Public Prosecution examined the body of the deceased, but did not notice any apparent injuries, and found blueness in his neck and face, secretions from his mouth, and red spots on his feet and back. The coroner conducted an autopsy on the body to determine the cause of his death, and the diving equipment that was used by him was sent to the Chamber of Diving Tourism and Marine Activities for examination in order to determine suitability for use at the depth that the deceased had reached, and investigations are being completed.
