So sad to have seen and now heard. I for one will always remember him and will use his passing as a reminder to dive as safely as I am able to. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

I'm Sarah, Ken's older sister. We got the official report from the coroner yesterday, and I can confirm that he died from a heart embolism (an air bubble that got trapped in his heart). This was not due to a safety problem, and could not have been foreseen or prevented. All of his equipment was functioning properly.

Dive safely, everyone, and thank you for your kind words.

I know we are all very sorry for your loss. I especially want to thank you for making what had to be a difficult post to let the public know more details. From what I've seen, that is very rare.

Thank you so much for your post. I wish you and yours peace and comfort. Eventually joy of having had someone so special in your life and the good memories will fill those painful places.
