It would B interesting 2 find out who those experts were & what 
evidence they had?
Personal observation, autopsy? It would be hard to differentiate true 
cause of death in a post-mortem if the actual c-of-d was drowning, wh/ 
it would be for both narc & oxtox, brought about by loss of 
consciousness or convulsions.
One has 2 also invoke the possibility that narcosis having clouded the 
abilities, could induce descent 2 deeper depths, where oxtox could 
become the coup de grace.

Unless solid evidence can be presented, this appears 2 B another myth 
trying to grow up & become truth.

In this case the economic advantages to groups into providing mix gas 
training is substantial, however.
