i suspect zero gas in his cylinder(althought @ 62 yrs of a age, the deceased might have expierenced a medical issue). max depth directly under the bogie channel bridge is 17ft, the depths in the channel average between 6-12FT according to an old chart i have and as i stated earlier with the wind blowing, the viz inside was probably no more than 5-10 ft and that may be generous,,,,,,,,,,,,
