Guess he found himself up a creek without a paddle.
Unfortunate human loss though. Besides family being understandably broken hearted, someone else is going to be pissed right off though!

He couldn't just bring it ashore in a backpack?

Police are reported as investigating if the drugs were attached to the outside of the ship, which make sense, given the circumstances. Would this be classified as a rebreather death?
OP
I would like to know what rebreather he was using, at what depth, if wearing a computer, and was the dive recorded on the said computer, dive profile, etc?
Attached to the outside of the ship, how, was it dropped to the bottom, depth there?
So many questions.

That's 220 lbs !! Even underwater and shallow,,, moving that around is going to take a big lift bag and many back and forth trips. That's alot of "Work of Breathing" on an RB and his red/green PO2 lights would have been screaming.

Well, he was using a 'breather wasnt he? So yes, why not(?), even if he had snorted half a pound before setting out on his little mis-adventure.

I've heard about smugglers attaching parasite loads to cargo ships before. K-cylinders full of contraband, strong magnets, stuck to the hull of cargo ships. I wonder if this was something similar?
