The death of a golf ball diver on Sunday in Feldkirchen an der Donau was probably the result of a medical emergency - we will never know the details. After the death of a family man during a dive in Lake Traunsee, the public prosecutor's office investigated - and the dive computer provided important information.

In contrast to the diver (55) from Perg who drowned while retrieving a golf ball from a pond in Feldkirchen/D. on Sunday, a 44-year-old father had his dive computer with him when he died in Lake Traunsee three months ago. And thanks to this "watch", which records all movements under water, the accident could be largely reconstructed.
