I am sorry but I wasnt sure where to put it,
The missing diver wasnt a certified caver diver....so would it belong in that category?
Also since no body has been found there is no firm conclusion that there was a death,....so would it belong in the RIP section?
Perhaps because it's in the context of a general interest item, and since he hasn't been found, there is actually no conclusive data to declare him dead. Especially in light of the unusual circumstance of his entry into Vortex, and his troubled times prior to his disappearance. The fact that he disappeared in a cave is secondary to the OP's point.
The article gives insight into Ben McDaniel's families anguish over the last year.
Interestingly it also gave some facts that I didnt know:
describes Vortex Spring as one of the most dangerous underwater caves in the world,
said that a Vortex Spring employee unlocked the gate.
quotes a brother wondering about ????
.
Truly a rough time for the family and very rough time for cave divers as well as the press does not take a vacation from pushing the persona of demonizing caves.
I feel for the family and wish that their son / brother would be returned to them asap.
I just hope that this incident does not cast a shadow over the entire cave community to the general public.
It is hard enough to maintain parks and cave diving opportunities.

Spoken by the arresting Officer: "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

It's not a "fact" that Vortex is one of the most dangerous caves in the world.
First I have heard of an employee opening the gate. Any chance a reporter might get it wrong?
