The medical examiner's report said that Tai Wilkerson suffered from 80% 
blockage of his main arteries. He was a walking heart attack, and the 
stress of this dive was enough to push him over the edge.

I think the lesson here is to have a stress test and/or ultrasonic scan 
of your carotid arteries before taking on tech diving or any other 
strenuous sport.
