Cet article apporte plus d'informations et ça devient un peu moins incompréhensible (si mon piètre niveau d'anglais a compris)

En tous cas, c'est en effet une triste nouvelle...

Les infos officielles : (depuis son FB)
(Certaines sources mentionnent qu'elle était lesté à 6kg, mais ce n'est pas confirmé)

August 6th, 15:00 Moscow time
Different versions are appearing online, we are all looking forward to
understand what happened. Thus here's what we can say from our Moscow
based prospective:

1. August 2, approximately between 3 and 4 pm local time, Natalia
Molchanova was lost at sea near the Formentera island.

2. She was freediving.

3. Near her in the water where several freedivers, and a dive-boat was
near the group for safety and transportation.

4. This was recreational freediving for fun and leisure, not
competition, neither training or teaching.

More precisely a witness told us the following:

1. After one of the dives, instead of surfacing near the group,
Natalia was briefly spotted surfacing, at estimated 60 m from group.

2. After a short laps of time afloat, she disappeared under the surface

3. Meanwhile the boat was moving in her direction, but before it
reached her, she was not visible anywhere.

The local Search and Rescue service added:

1. The depths at the dive spot are from 35 to 65 m.

2. Strong underwater currents can occur on the spot.

Further details about the tragedy, appearing in the medias, might not
be reliably supported by evidence. Many questions are legit, but for
now we call the freediving community to show some critical thinking
and restrain towards interpretations, comments, theories, or judgments
of personal actions, appearing in the media. Especially since the
causes of the accident are for the moment unknown, and even may stay
mysterious forever. Let us try to find the right balance between
curiosity, search of information and respect of Natalia's memory. We
keep the contact with the Spanish investigators, they are our source
of information for now.
