That's sad news and heartfelt condolences to the family of the young man.

I wonder what constitutes a "freak diving accident"?

from what i hear he was a dive master. he was doing research in mexico by himself and washed up on shore w/ a cut on his head. the parents were told very little info. and the mexican gov't cremated his body so no autopsy was preformed. i can only imagine what the family must be going through.
