They seem to have no clue as to the cause so they're calling it medical.

Tragedy in the waters of the Portofino Marine Protected Area where an expert diver lost his life probably as a result of an illness accused while he was diving. The man, 52 years old , a trader from Rapallo, had dived alone; the diving guide who remained on the boat sounded the alarm after the body re-emerged prone already unconscious.
