Some of the enormous amount of speculation that has appeared on this site after a death is very insensitive. How would your families feel if they read it after either of your deaths? One or two such postings have been completely taken over by considerable speculation as to whether the death was caused by this, that or the other.
This is different to the posting of facts that we all can hopefully learn from.
I support this and the releasing of any facts by the family or the close diving friend(s) that might help the rest of us dive more safely.
As always, just my newbie HO.

Hi Charlie;
I think there's very few situations in reality where all the facts are available. I think there's a healthy difference between outright speculation, and well intended, and sufficiently thought out, and objective "estimates" by qualified experts as has been done on this thread (and some others).
More often than not, something near to speculation (a good estimate), is all we have
to base our learning and decisions from.
