The problem as was told to me by a member of the PA sate police u/w 
search team/homicide unit is that pathologists arent familar with the 
protocol for conducting an autopsy on persons exposed to elevated 
presure. as a result when they do the exam most unintentionally and 
unwittingly destroy what ever evidence there may have been of other 
conditions. They then label most diving deaths as heart attacks because 
all humans have some degree of CAD. It is interesting to note that post 
mortems of commercial divers done by qualified examiners show much less 
incidence of death due to "heart attack", and more due to venous emboli 
and drowning, which points to diver error.

Another factor to consider w/ respect to diver autoposy is that many 
life ins policies exclude hyper baric exposure, another reason for a 
natural causes classification instead of diver error.
