More Tests Slated On New Jersey Diver Who Died In Pennsylvania
August 20, 2013 7:43 AM
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) A coroner says more tests
are needed to determine what killed a scuba diver
found dead at a former quarry in Pennsylvania.
Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim says an autopsy
was performed Monday on the body of 38-year-old
Eugene Fleysher of Saddle Brook, N.J.
But Grim said a ruling on the cause of death was
deferred pending toxicology test results.
Fleysher was diving at Dutch Springs, a former
cement quarry turned diving spot in Northampton
County’s Lower Nazareth Township, when he was
found unresponsive in the water Sunday.
The (Easton) Express-Times says the 50-acre Dutch
Springs quarry lake attracts about 30,000 divers a year.
