64 year old Donna Hartson of Sterling Heights, Michigan was
on board the commercial dive vessel Silent World 4 with her husband, Leroy
Hartson, and six other divers. They were diving on the Benwood Reef, offshore
of Key Largo between 2 and 3 p.m.
According to the vessel’s captain, the diver’s had been in
the water for about 40 minutes. They were getting ready to leave the area and
go to another location. He said when Hartson surfaced, he saw her signaling for
help. When the vessel reached her, she was not responsive. They pulled her on
to the boat, began CPR, and called the Coast Guard to notify them of the
trouble.
When they reached Port Largo Subdivision, they were met by
deputies and paramedics. Hartson was transported to Mariner’s Hospital where
she was pronounced dead.
An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of her death.
