Doc T. et al,

It looks as if the ME got it right in the Dutch Springs incident. Despite the poor guy being more active than most of us, the report showed 80% blockage in one or more of the vessels supplying the heart muscle.

Overall, MI's may be going down as you note, but there are still those incidents like this one that are seemingly unexplainable. At least this one did not get laid on the "deadly re-breather diving equipment".

My sympathies to family and friends left behind. I gather he was well known and liked in the diving community

Don’t you believe it M8.

Divers like De8us are out there sarcastically saying things like "no doubt this will again be attributed to hart attack" and suggesting a cover-up by the Rebreather manufacturers of their deadly equipment. Personally I think this is DIR diver bullshit as it’s quite hard to get the coroner to falsify his / her findings in the civilised world. However it has become a bit of a standing joke in the OC RB80 community.
