Just what a tourist's family want's , the bahamas hacking up the body of a loved one before sending it back home. It'll look like is was attached with a chainsaw by the time we're done with it.

I am glad they are doing an autopsy. They tried to say it was a heart attack, but I think they hooked up his equipment wrong because I saw him struggle with it before he got off the boat. They should have had a defibrillator ready to try to bring him back, and from what we saw they didn't have it.
Also they didnt give us any emergency signals so the guy had no way to communicate he was in an emergency situation. The tour guide master divers also did not communicate to us the divers, or to the boat driver it was an emergency so by the time they got him on the boat he was already too far gone.
