They did a gear autopsy? If you look at the above posts it seems the diver was revoered without his tank/bcd, only in a weightbelt? Did they find him in his gear, did they find him on the surface, Did they find his gear at some point later at the bottom, seperate from his body?

"The North Shore News ran an article on the finding of the body (Sunday edition I believe). Apparently he was found floating in a 'wetsuit' with no tanks. I'd like to see some other verification that he was wearing a wetsuit, because we all know the news media never gets it wrong.

If the article is correct I guess we can assume he ditched gear to get to the surface. I'd be interested to know the max depth he reached before ditching and whether or not his wing was functional. Sad sad sad."
