Pursuing the road less traveled - asking the difficult questions
Posted By Cliff Etzel on 17 October 2002
Editors note: With the tragic loss of Audrey on Oct 12, many in the freediving community are still in a state of shock and grieving. Now the process of asking difficult questions need to be addressed. There needs to be clear answers as to what happened and accountability put upon whomever was responsible for Audrey's loss of life. Was negligence on the part of the organization sponsoring the record attempt the cause of Audrey Mestre's death? Or was it a natural result of the hazards of this extreme sport. This and other questions need to be asked - and answered
The tragic death of french freediver Audrey Mestre' during her fatal world record attempt in the Dominican Republic on October 12 has brought to light many questions that have yet to be answered - or aren't being answered fully or truthfully.
What has been officially reported by the various media outlets as to what happened is beginning to bring to light and contradict what actually occurred based upon sources and witnesses who were close to this tragic event. This has been verified and confirmed by sources whom I have been in contact with.
This tragedy and the true causes are beginning to allude to a possible misrepresentation/misleading attitude that might be construed by others as a cover up. Is there a cover up? - or have all the facts not been released that will absolve the IAFD of any wrong doing.
Why hasn't the IAFD, who were the organizers, and thus, the organization that is accountable and responsible for all aspects of this world record attempt, not been willing to face an increasingly inquiring and demanding public and grant full disclosure on all documentation, videos, witnesses, sworn testimonials, etc. that would address the various inconsistencies and versions of what occurred, even though several days have passed since the accident?
