I'm not condoning the gas switching manifold in any way, but its probably
not what killed him. He surfaced without the rig, and its hard to imagine
convulsions throwing him out of it. Don't want to second-guess the inquest,
but I would have thought it more likely that the bulk or weight of the rig
got him stuck somewhere and he had to climb out of it.
