Finally got home but still don't know what happened. It was the first dive of the day and max was 90ft. He was 50-60 w/history of heart attacks though. I think he was the last diver back to the boat and right after he sat down someone called for oxygen. He was foaming at the mouth and stopped breathing, no pulse. One of the divers was a firefighter and started CPR. Divers took turns doing compressions for the ~25 min ride back to the inlet where a rescue crew met up with our boat and put him on the AED. By the time we got to the dock it was about 30-40 min. They put him in the ambulance and took him to the hospital. I'm no doctor but it was apparent to everyone that he was gone.
Great effort by the captain and crew for doing everything humanly possible to try to bring him back. Out of respect, I won't post his name before I see something official released.
