By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF An autopsy will be held today to determine what exactly killed a 37- year-old Welland man who died, Wednesday, following a scuba diving excursion off the coast of Oakville. Police said three men, all experienced divers from the Niagara Region, were exploring a ship- wreck and were about 130 feet underwater when something went wrong. The one diver looked over and the second diver indicated that he was in distress. The first diver went over to him and tried to help him out; they exchanged their emergency air bottles and they started up towards the surface, said Sgt. Brian Carr, Halton police spokesper- son. The diver who is now deceased became more distressed. The other diver kept it together. They had to slow (their ascent); they were going up too fast. At this point we dont know if the deceased diver suffered medical distress in the water or equipment dis- tress. Were not sure, the investigation is continu- ing. Police received a may- day distress signal from the divers boat at around 3:30 p.m. with marine units from Halton, Peel and Toronto responding.
