But with an air embolism he most likely would have collapsed sooner. From what the mother described sounds like Type II DCS, and that would required using a hyperbaric chamber.
He most likely based on this report was saturated after diving deep all day, and probably didn't follow the dive tables for his limits.
Sadly the mother is right, a chamber should have been working, especially on an island like Abaco where there are many commercial fisherman.
So tragic and unnecessary this young man's death.

A very tragic situation, RiP to all the lost souls.
But question, I read in another news report that the RBDF had to wait until daybreak to begin search and rescue operations. So from the boat capsized and the distress call was apparently received at 4am, the RBDF had to wait 2-3 hours to begin to render assistance?

I'm not sure how accurate this news report was, but if that was the scenario, why are the RBDF not equipped with SAR lights. This isn't the first time tragedy at sea as occurred and I've heard of the RBDF having to wait for daybreak.
Someone make it make sense, where are the SAR floodlights and equipment required to make rescues at night?

Why would they even agree to a 75/25 split in the first place. That should have been at minimum a 60/40 split. The Bahamas is always selling out and then coming back to renege on a deal.
This is very disingenuous of the government, they always do deals like this in hopes of swinging someone after they've done all the work. Smh

Lol... if Bahamians think that they will raise minimum wage to a livable wage, then they are plumb crazy. The most they may do is raise it to $300 a week, and even that may be a stretch. Honestly a liveable wage is this country is at least $400 a week, and that's scraping by.
And with a significant increase there may come the question of qualified workers. No longer will employers be satisfied with employees who barely graduated high school and have no other qualifications, they may require some qualifications to go with a major minimum wage increase.
So all of that needs to factor in...

It seems that the deceased would have been a target regardless of whether he was on a work programme or released from prison at the end of his sentence.
The person who killed him was obviously on a mission, and sadly had it not happened now, in all likelihood it would have happened upon his release in 2024.
I would start the investigation with known contacts of the person Mr. Saunders was convicted of killing. They would have the most to gain from Mr. Saunders death- vengeance or revenge.

Changing the age to 18 won't stop a pedophile from being a pedophile. A stricter penalty for pedophiles is what is needed. Changing the consent age only masks the underlying issue, which is that the law is to lenient when it comes to convicting pedophiles.

I'm trying to understand the part where monitoring would only be for 10 years. So after 10 years sexual predators are reformed?
Wayne Munroe just showed me what I knew all along...he's a dummy masquerading as a person with sense.

Which is why there needs to be parameters for being placed on the list. Placing any and every sexual deviant on the list isn't what is needed, so what if you enjoy sex in public that's no reason to be on the list, but enjoying sex with children is. So it is up to the magistrate to use sound reasoning and judgment when determining who to place on the registry.

All he did was make the grocery store bill higher for those who can barely afford it now. Some folks were barely getting by on VAT free breadbasket items, now you want to add a 10% increase. So the $20 they were scrapping to buy tuna, sardines, bread etc will now be unable to stretch as it did before.
Meanwhile the folks who weren't even buying VAT free breadbasket items that often get a 2% decrease (eg. I buy canned tuna to feed my dogs). Someone help me understand where this is helping out the poor people in our country.

Of course the demand for vaccines have increased. The USA is making it mandatory for all foreign visitors to be vaccinated, which means Bahamians will now look to be vaccinated so they can travel in time for Christmas. Smdh...
