So this guy wanted to have a unique way to ask his girlfriend to marry him while on vacation in Tanzania so he swam down to a porthole in their submerged cabin to drop the question but he never makes it back up alive.

American man dies during underwater marriage proposal in Tanzania

His girlfriend had a video of him doing it which is in this article and I’m not sure but it looks like he’s trying to hold his breath and get it done but ends up aspirating water twice? Did he panic and drown trying to get back to the surface? No idea how far down he was:

Lucky bastard. He's saved himself a bunch of grief.

He wasn't all that deep, between 10 and 30 feet I've read, but people have drowned in waist deep water. My guess is either shallow water blackout, or sucked in some seawater and gag reflexed before he could get to the surface.

I’m sorry to sound like a dick, but what a dumbass.

Seriously, take a small oxygen tank, or something with you. What is supposed to be the best day of a woman’s life, has now emotionally scarred her, and wasted your own life. For what? Some bragging rights about the best proposal?
Betcha a million dollars, she would have preferred the old fashioned one knee proposal, as opposed to the outcome of this dumpster fire.

I lit 100 candles right before my wife came home from work, and turned off the lights. That was my proposal. I didn’t die. She still has all 100 candles.

Damn stupid people.

But did he vape?
