Out of the respect for the victim and his family I think it is grossly inappropriate to leak bits and pieces of info from the recovery team. Wait for the full IUCC report to be released to the cave community with the verifiable facts.

Report from the recovery divers is that the Meg he was using was TOTALLY flooded, one of his onboard O2 bottles (the one driving the solenoid) was empty, and that both his offboard 100 cu. ft. 'dil bottles were both empty.
He was found just inside a restriction at 3900', heading out, withing 10 ft. or so of an staged emergency bottle, one of three in the cave.
