was diving in Bushman's Hole in South Africa at a depth of around NUMBER_TOKEN feet aka the Death Zone while he's down there he discovers the dead body a fellow diver Dion Dreyer whose corpse had been missing for NUMBER_TOKEN years it had been assumed Dion would never be found so David Schaad decides he wants to go back down there several months later and bring Dion up for his parents to finally have some kind of closure it's a great idea it's a great idea in in theory David Shaw finds Dion again during the retrieval mission but when he tries to cut him free he becomes entangled with the body you see the corpse was supposed to become negatively buoyant but instead it floated this was because surprise fat's in the body had turned into a soapy substance called adipose heir or corpse wax essentially a floating soap mummy and once cut free from its harness it floated at one point while Shaw wrestles with the corpse its head actually comes off and Bob's in front of his helmet camera for a moment wrestling with a swollen corpse just floating there in the watery darkness is creepy enough but the story isn't over David Shaw used up so much energy trying to settle down this floating body and the pressure was so violently high at these depths that he suffered respiratory failure and also died so now there are two corpses down there in a strange twist of fate a few days later Shaw's body was found on the roof of the underwater cave and below him was Dion Dreyer floating in the glow of his flashlight so awful as this was he was able to bring Dion Dreyer back to his parents so now you know death wings that's my kryptonite exploding corpses bring them on bog bodies yes please meeting and unexpected corpse in an underwater cave no what are your corpse or death related phobias tell us in the comments and we can all have night terrors together okay for the record I would gladly tend to the body of a recovered cave diver on land of course I just don't want to encounter one in the wild I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you about my book it's coming out in less than a month now ah and a reminder preorders helped me a lot because they make me seem real to bookstores and libraries like a real book writer a writer of books helped me seem real I think I'm also going to do a book themed Q&A in the next few weeks and I'm gonna leave it pretty open do you want to know about death around the world do you want to know about book deals and publishing do you want book recommendations leave those in the comments thumbs up other people's questions that you like and I'll base that video off you guys and what you want year of PROFANITY_TOKEN this video was made with generous donations from death enthusiasts just like you
