Man dies in dive incident

A 67-year-old Lake Charles, Florida man died after just starting a dive on the Spiegel Grove wreck off Key Largo Friday.

Roy Jasper was pronounced dead at Mariners Hospital at 12:41 p.m.

Reports state Jasper and two others had just entered the water from a private boat sometime after 11:30 a.m. and were preparing to descend when the two other divers noticed Jasper was drifting away.

They immediately got him back to the boat where a nearby commercial boat captain helped them perform CPR. They drove to Garden Cove Drive where waiting paramedics transported Jasper to the hospital.

Foul play does not appear to be a factor in the incident.

Autopsy results are pending.
