CANTERBURY, UK (21 Apr 2005) -- A popular young grad student has died scuba diving in Chile. Paul Harris, 23, was diving with a group of fellow students when the accident occurred.

Described as a brilliant, friendly and popular student who stood out in a crowd at 6ft 7in tall, Harris graduated in space science from Kent University and was doing his PhD at university in Preston. An avid but easy-going athelete, Harris was excited about the Chile trip because he wanted to see the Gemini space telescope. | | Paul Harris Family and friends, mostly in the Cantebury area, were all said to be in a state of deep shock at the news of Harris's tragic death. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
