Medical Fatality in Plura cave system in Norway

[Marie13]

If you have a company that makes rebreathers, and one of your family members passes diving one of the rebreathers you make, I would think that you would want to have some official information out ASAP to help quell any rumors about diver error or the like. My guess is that Dive Rite has worked with DAN in the past and this is how they decided to report findings. A DAN article holds more weight than the internet rumor mill. RIP Jared.

Figured that was probably a good bit of it.

A ScubaBoard Staff Message...

With Jared's closeness to our community, and a preliminary report that answers many of our questions (pO2 1.3), further debate is not fair to the family that is doubtless reading this thread.
Starting a separate thread to re-debate some of the recurring issues in our risky sport is of course, welcome. Just not here, not now.
Thank you for your understanding.
RIP, Jared.

Good read. Gives a lot of insight.

To an extent, "natural causes" in a place where it turned fatal instead of just a bad day. If had been driving on a mountain road, it would have been an auto accident as they drove off the side of a mountain. In this case, a dive accident because it happened while diving.
