[edit] Staged death?
The suggestion that Eileen and Tom might have 'staged' their death is disgraceful and profoundly insensitive. It seems to me that it was not enough that they were abondoned when they were alive the company seem to want to abandon them whilst are dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.9.59 (talk • contribs) but like if there wrote that how? did they have a pen on them? and paper? was it written in blood?

- When you go diving you can't talk underwater. You would have a board and underwater pern to write quick message to one another. (anon)
I agree. It's the company's responsibility to do a headcount. The couple could not have counted on the headcount being wrong and the boat leaving in order to "commit suicide" or "stage their deaths" and any such suggestion is pure tabloid trash. The leaking of "supporting information" from the dive company speaks volumes about their moral stature.
Much more useful factual information that could replace the wild theories and tabloid speculation: - Was there an official inquiry of any kind? - What was the result of the inquiry? - Has the dive company been sued? - Did the incident lead to any criminal charges?

- Ok, it doesn't matter if it's "tabloid trash." As long as it's made clear that it's a speculation, then it should be at least mentioned. (Need I remind you that the purpose of the site is to provide as much info as possible?) Facts are what belong here. "Some speculate that that Tom and Eileen's death was staged..." or what have you, is a fact.

There was a half hour CourtTV show on this (Forensic Files?). I thought the boat company was held responsible in the end. We need more info. ~ Strathmeyer 04:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Three !'s
"Although some of their gear was found washed up later miles away from where they were lost, their bodies were never found. This recovered gear included a diver's slate which read: "Monday Jan 26; 1998 08am. To anyone [who] can help us: We have been abandoned on A[gin]court Reef by MV Outer Edge 25 Jan 98 3pm. Please help us [come] to rescue us before we die. Help!!!"" Did the diver's slate really have 3 exclamation marks? It seems wierd that someone would bother to right out 3 in a state like that...

- Since there is no source there is no telling, but I doubt it. I put a citation needed to that quote and added the version I believe to be true with a source.

[edit] Sources
It's just strange that there are no links to newspaper articles or any other documents on this. Looks like a hoax?gb 05:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
