I know its generally bad form to cross post on forums. But I saw this on Scubaboard. I had absolutely no idea this could happen, so thought it might be useful to others.

You might have to register to see it I'm afraid.
This initial post is:
-----------------------------------------------
A diver died while cleaning underneath a boat at a Fort Myers marina Monday afternoon.
Officers are investigating the accidental death of the man, who has not been identified pending next-of-kin notification, said Capt. Jim Mulligan, with Fort Myers police.
The man was found floating in The Marina at Edison Ford about an hour after he went out to starting cleaning, Mulligan said.
Police have been at the marina by Pinchers in the 2300 block of West First Street since they were called there for the drowning. about 1:30 p.m.
"We’re still on scene and still in the investigative stages," said Sgt. Jason Pate.
"There are no signs of foul play and it appears natural or accidental," the agency said.
-----------------------------------------
As the thread develops it seems they were electricuted due to faulty wiring while the boat was hooked up to the marina electricity supply.
