Diver hired to retrieve golf balls drowns in industrial accident

A 27-year-old man diving for golf balls in water traps around a golf course drowned last Wednesday. The death is being considered an industrial accident.

 

The Las Colinas Country Club golf course hired Christopher Logan to retrieve the golf balls. Logan is scuba certified and worked for the golf course part time.

 

When Logan had not returned by closing time at 8 p.m., an employee went looking for him.

 

Logan’s breathing apparatus was found floating in the water near the 18th hole. The pump which supplies air to Logan was not running. His body was later discovered submerged in the water. The death was ruled an accident due to drowning and carbon monoxide effects by the Dallas County medical examiner.

 

Because the drowning is being considered an industrial accident, it is being investigated by OSHA.
