What is byford dolphin autopsy?

The Byford Dolphin is a semi-submersible drilling rig that was involved in a tragic accident in 1983 during a diving operation.

During the incident, one of the divers, Edwin Coward, was exposed to a rapid decompression from a pressure of 9 atmospheres to 1 atmosphere in a matter of seconds. This rapid decompression caused his body to violently explode, resulting in his death.

The autopsy of Edwin Coward revealed that his body was severely mutilated, with internal organs forced out of his body and his thoracic cavity filled with water. The cause of death was determined to be explosive decompression, which caused massive trauma to his body.

The incident led to changes in diving procedures and safety regulations to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future. The Byford Dolphin accident remains one of the most gruesome and tragic diving incidents in history.
