There’s a GoFundMe account set up.

After reading this, I feel like the world is a much stupider place than I had realized. Unnngh.
How did he fail to make it back up and out? He didn’t hit bottom and he showed his letter and ring in the posted video.
Eaten by a shark?
Out of air?
I will never understand why any proposal has to be a public thing. It’s a special intimate moment beteeen 2 and only 2 people. It’s like the parent child stuff... every little moment beteeen you and a child doesn’t and shouldn’t need to be shared with the world...or anyone but your wife or husband.
He gave his life for the likes.
There are a lot of stories about it in the news today. My own theory is that he held his breath for longer than he was used to and reflexively took a breath as soon as his head reached the surface. At that point he probably either got water into his lungs or had a “laryngospasm” which blocked his airway when he was already low on oxygen and he lost consciousness. With drowning victims its about 50/50. Half of the people who “drown” don’t have much if any water in their lungs.
My crew and I once responded to bicyclist who got hit by a truck and landed face down in a puddle on the shoulder of the road that was about 6 inches deep. There were lots of witnesses but they were afraid of moving him because they thought that he might have a neck injury.
He still had a pulse when we and the paramedics got there but he was not breathing. He didn’t have any water in his lungs because he had a strong laryngospasm, but the paramedics were not able to get their airway tube past it in time to save him. I am not sure if the idiots who put a blanket over him while he was laying face down in a puddle of water could have saved him either, but it sure made us wonder about their common sense.
