Ginnie Springs Death

[mcm007]

Just heard on the local news (CBS 47) that someone died over the weekend at Ginnie. I logged in to check the story here , but found no info...

I'm diving there next week and wanted to see if anyone knew anything.

There was a thread posted in the Conch Divers forum about it here

I believe the death was a free diver, and it occurred at Dogwood Spring

Matthew Lund went to my daughters high school, a 22 year old that was into free diving. He went to Ginnie Springs,(do not know exactly where) by himself and free dove into a cave. When he was discovered, he had a gash on his head, they believe he knocked himself out. It is sad when people dive solo.
