UK news: Mystery surrounds deaths of doctor and businessman on trip to Greece
The heartbroken families of two men who died during a diving expedition fear they may never get the answers they need. Dr Vincent Hong, 53, and Timothy Saville, 61, both died within days of each other off the Greek island of Kea.
Vincent died on September 27, 2019 while on a dive to the wreck of the SS Burdigala which lies off the Greek island of Kea. Two days later, Tim also lost his life during a dive to the HMHS Britannic off the same island. Tim’s wife Liz Saville also paid tribute to her husband, who was co-director at Bronte Water Coolers in Honley. Diving to the wreck of HMHS Britannic was on Tim’s bucket list.
The families believe the fact high levels of carbon monoxide found in both men - who were non-smokers - cannot simply be a coincidence. But, after hearing expert evidence, Prof Marks indicated he would likely dismiss carbon monoxide poisoning as a contributing factor in their deaths. However, she took tissue samples from each body. A non-smoker can expect to have a carbon monoxide level of around 0.5 per cent but Tim had a level at 15 per cent and Vincent 11 per cent.
If there was a problem it would have increased carbon dioxide levels which could have impaired judgement and led to unconsciousness. In relation to Vincent, Mr Parker noted the dive had gone well and Vincent was calm until the moment he appeared to get his equipment entangled in the line as he ascended.
Vincent was unresponsive and, despite CPR being carried out at the surface, he died a short time later at a nearby health centre. In relation to Tim, a decision was taken not to dive on the day after Vincent’s death but Tim and a few others decided to dive to the Britannica the day after. They tried to put his mouthpiece back in and get air into his lungs but they struggled to do so. Again, CPR was carried out after he reached the surface but Tim also died at the healthcare centre.
Again, carbon dioxide poisoning was not an issue in Vincent’s death but there did appear to be problems with Tim’s rebreather. Dr Turner felt the fact there had been alarms raised regarding carbon dioxide levels and that Tim was lagging behind could suggest he had been overcome by the gas.
