"He was practicing snorkeling in the swimming pool since he was going snorkling the next day."
Well, it could very well have been that he was not used to the use of a snorkel and for example suffocated from inhaling water instead of air and then could not get the mouthpiece out in order to cry for help. If nobody was around by the pool, no one would have ever noticed.
Besides, a too long snorkel can also be a killer as used air is not going out properly through the tube, and thus keeps fresh air/oxygen from being sucked in.
This tragedy could also have happened at sea, which is the more normal place for snorkelling activities. The sea is more than 6 feet deep.
If there were other people than the staff nearby, why did they not do anything else but wait for the staff to take action? Why do people always want others to take action prior to their own actions, if any.
Only the questions remain after all accidents.
