PASCO COUNTY, Fla. - A golf ball diver who drowned in a small pond in January may have been trapped in his equipment, according to a report released Monday by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office dive team.
David Voiles' body was found in a small lake just outside the Sherman Hill Golf and Country Club on January 3. The dive team found that Voiles could not reach his regulator (breathing apparatus), which had gotten tangled in a line that lead to a nylon bag filled with approximately 500 golf balls, weighing 85 lbs.
The report suggests Voiles was trying to get at a knife when he ran out of breath.
