KUANTAN, Malaysia (17 Mar 2008) — A British woman on holiday at Malaysia's Tioman Island died after a scuba diving accident. Usha Vijh, 67, was scuba diving with a friend while her husband and another friend looked on from a nearby jetty. At about 3:15pm, Vijh's husband told police that his wife suddenly resurfaced and started screaming for help. Both the husband and the friend leaped into the water from the jetty, swam out to the victim and brought her back to shore. Despite attempts to revive the victim with CPR, she died at the scene of the accident. Authorities declined to provide further details about the fatal scuba diving accident. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
