Thanks for the info.  My request was not motivated by morbid interest in
Roland's death so much as suspicion that some whitewashing had occured by
Cis-Lunar.  If the system had allowed a diver to enter the water with O2
turned off, as initial reports had described, then this would be a very
serious design oversight.  

As for discussing the death of a diver, I suggest that accident analysis is
very  appropriate for this forum - it's just unfortunate that cave diving
accidents are often fatal.  Value judgements and aspersions are clearly
inappropriate here, and it would be best to do this kind of analysis without
using names.  Unfortunately, if a famous explorer dies, then those who have
heard of his achievements will probably also hear about his death.
