The information I received was that the divers were doing trimix and the
victim had a freeflow and panicked.  A post on rec.scuba did state that
witnesses saw the group enter the water wearing drysuits, doubles, & argon..
mix wouldn't be at all a stretch... So please don't conclude that this was
another deep air death.  Whether the guy should have been at 190' under any
circumstances is another matter.
