I am so sorry Tradd.
Thank you, all!
A report was just released on what happened.

It’s beginning to look like it might have been a medical issue. There’s usually a lot of scuttle butt going around if deaths were caused by something correctable (aka diver made a mistake and would have lived if he did something different). Nothing about that in this case.
It is comforting to know more of what happened, I imagine. There is not a whole lot you can do about an unexpected medical event. I am so sorry this happened to your friend.
Thank you. Friend was cave diving solo, which is a definite no no, but even if he had a buddy, if you have a heart attack underwater, the odds are against you making it.
harrowing account.
If you have a medical emergency under water, I'm sure your options are limited. I'm so sorry Tradd. While not a diving story, we had a tragedy in our local community when the founder of Shelburne Farms died trying to assist his grandchildren when a squall upset their boating trip in the bay. https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/...t?oid=36312388
These tragedies remind us how fragile our lives really are. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My cousin died during his first dive in California, while his daughter tried frantically to save him. I never heard whether it was an equipment problem or a medical event. As you say, you never know...
