I've gained access to multiple recent coroner investigations regarding diving deaths in my province (Quebec).
Among the report, one seems botched. The coroner has a very short description of the autopsy report and even gets confused at some points, telling there is evidence that there is a lung trauma and then saying there is no trauma. The coroner is an attorney, doesn't seem to have a lot of biology knowledge, let alone know about scuba diving.
I am considering trying to submit a complaint about coroners not having enough formation, especially attorneys, concerning scuba diving. When doctors do the investigation, they might not dive, they do possess the knowledge about how the body works to investigate each and every crevice and report it in the final report. The reports seem complete, though might lack information on how to prevent an accident. To do so, I have to show the need for more formation.
In the report I am referring to, the autopsy report fits in a single paragraph. It is confused and doesn't even touch the surrounding areas where the person died, brushes a possibility of ice (5 celsius water) jamming a pipe, seems to consider emphysema as a cause of death, but never finds a "probable cause". Instead, it looks headlessly everywhere and nowhere, never pushing the investigation further than the hypotheses.
A whole spectrum of causes that have not been investigated were related to gas and losing consciousness. Not a single mention of it.
Why I am asking for compressor distance
The diving school the woman was diving with has a private access to a lake and a compressor close to their building which is heated with wood.
You might see where I am going,
I am trying to see if the air supply (which is not mentioned in the coroner's report) could have been tainted by carbon monoxide. To do so, I would like to know if anyone knows of a relative distance in (or out of) which it is safe or dangerous to use a compressor. I know wind and other conditions could alter the situation, but
