Hate to hear of things like this. I will keep the family in my thoughts.

crap!

Quote: Police said it is not known whether the death is related to scuba diving or a separate medical cause. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday in Ottawa.

unlikely we will know..... first one this year sounded like it wasn't specifically caused by diving.....

Oh shoot, you're right. I just zoned in on the St Lawrence part of the title, I didn't realize there were two incidents. Not a great weekend for the St. Lawrence.

In shock right now...
I knew Ray professionally for 20 plus years, but never knew he was a diver until reading the local news this evening.
Condolences to his wife and family...

Some additional coverage from his local paper that includes some general information on his dive schedule for the weekend:
