Old, discontinued threads-Inquiring minds want to know?

[pilot fish]

Do you divers wonder, as I do, what happened to several incidents, accidents, deaths that were reported on this Board and the threads closed? What were the findings and dispositons of them? Enough time has gone by now that there should have been resolution and the actual facts, not speculation, as some of us offered, come to light? Two threads that come quickly to mind [ because they were so unusual ] are the lady that claimed to be gropped at depth by a DM in Mexico and the doctor that perished diving the Spiegel Grove? Are there any others that you guys would like to know more about?

Since one of the functions of this Board is to impart sound information on diving, I think it would help to know what the outcome and actual facts were on these and other threads.

Is it possible that part of the data base is not back yet?
Or the threads are very old?

It's entirely possible, that no facts ever surface about the actual COD for these divers.

Most often, drowning is to blame, (since ultimately most people end up drowning, but that might not be the real CAUSE) and the drowning also makes it more difficult for investigators to probe into the actual cause. Also, they (cops) probably don't have the interest that WE do into the cause... They write drowned, and that's that... case closed.

If the thread was just closed, it's still there.

Yes, I think that is the case, howarde, but some divers in the locale of the incident might have some additional info about it? In the case of the doctor, it was very puzzling how a diver got to the surface ok and was on the mooring ball then left it and perished.

Are there any other incidents you'd like to know the outcome of?

If the thread was just closed, it's still there.

But there would be no current update on it.
