Perhaps it was more than just decompression sickness, lung over-expansion trauma?
Very, very sad. Agreed, it could have easily been a combination of the two. It would be interesting to know if he rented a computer with his kit. It’s possible he blew through his deco obligation(s). Moreover, “pressing the button” to go up makes lung overexpansion entirely plausible.
“I panicked. The current got stronger at the bottom. I was afraid to be drifted away, so I pressed (the button) and I went up immediately.”
