RE: Dead or on the lamb? - guyfriday - 09-06-2024
I call crap on that "Dry Drowning" or better known as Asphyxiation. My evidence is this story:
Man Found Alive at Bottom of the Sea 3 Days After Boat Sank: 'Total Shock' - Newsweek
Quote:On May 23, it will be 10 years since a man named Harrison Okene survived three days at the bottom of the sea in the wreck of a ship.So, this guy was in a small, very small, cabin for three days trapped in an air pocket and was still alive, but Lynch and friends were in much larger cabins and died due to lack of oxygen in less than a day? Were Lynch and friends gassed before the boat went down?
The 29-year-old had been trapped in the freezing cold and pitch-black darkness 100 feet beneath the ocean surface for 60 hours. He is believed to have been just hours from death when he was found.
"It was very unexpected and a total shock to find someone alive after the vessel sank days before," Nico van Heerden, the diver who found Okene, told Newsweek. "He was not the first person we came across, though. Before we found him, we found and recovered the bodies of three of his colleagues that perished during the incident. Very tragic indeed."
Every time new "evidence" comes out the question of them being dead before the boat went under still lingers. I mean what next, they were unresponsive when the boat was shaking around for 9 minutes due to too much oxygen?

At this point, I honestly think they have absolutely no idea what happened and are simply making things up.

All Italian sites I saw talk about drowning or asphyxiation, so I don't think it's "some fantasy term come up with by Italian investigators"

We don't know that, we only know that only one was used.

I remember that case.
In this case, we don't know the size of the hypothetical air pocket, but it was used, supposedly, by four people instead of one, so the time would have be reduced to 25%.
Another thing that makes a big difference is temperature. In the case you mention, the man was very, very cold, which slows down the metabolism, so if he kept calm he could use much less oxygen than he would at higher temperatures.
In the case of the Bayesian, one of the sources I saw stated that a meteorologist said that water temperature on that area reached 30º C, so the air would have much less oxygen.

That was my first thought.

A little update that might produce some answers.
Divers find cameras on Mike Lynch's superyacht that could solve sinking (nypost.com)
Quote:Video surveillance cameras retrieved from the wreckage of tech tycoon Mike Lynch’s yacht may solve the mystery of why it sank in a storm off Sicily last month.
Divers from the Italian Navy retrieved video surveillance equipment, including computers and hard drives, that will be analyzed in specialized labs, according to a report Saturday.
Hopefully some solid answers will come forth with this new data getting sorted through.
