Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a diver, was removing a cutting head from an underwater drill. His right leg and arm were sucked into a 12 in. diameter pipe, trapping him. Employee #1's diving helmet struck the side of the underwater excavation, rendering him unconscious and severing the surface-fed air line to the helmet. The helmet filled with water and Employee #1 drowned before help could reach him.
