Was curious about this one since it's a park that has been on my radar as I have friends in Raleigh. Google search led to facebook post that indicated CCR diver, unit sent of for analysis and buddies believed it unfortunately was a medical event.

Cold water, heavy gear, lots of stress I am sure. Sorry to the friends and family.
