NEAR CASSVILLE, Mo. (KY3) - Missouri Highway Patrol reports a diver died in Roaring River State Park near Cassville.

The diver, Eric Hahn, 27, of Charlottesville, Virginia, is a group member doing weekly dives at the state park.

Investigators say it happened around 190 feet deep. They believe there was an equipment malfunction but will not know until inspection.

Since it’s a specialized dive, investigators do not know when they will be able to recover the body. An autopsy will be done after the recovery.

Eric was a smart ass. His mustache looked like a bad joke he forgot to stop telling. And he was a good diver. Passionate to share his experiences and help others. He was a friend. I’m gonna miss him. This is the worst.
