It doesn't say if the diver survived or not?

MURRELLS INLET, SC (WMBF) – A diver was airlifted to the hospital after a diving accident 10 miles off the coast of Murrells Inlet Friday.
According to Captain Jerry Howerton, Murrells Inlet-Garden City Fire Department got the call at about 11:45 a.m. He said at some point the patient went into cardiac arrest, but it is unclear how or why.
MIGC met the boat about a mile offshore and helped it back to land, where a United States Coast Guard helicopter took the patient to a local hospital.
