What are leading steeply causes of death of recreational divers?
In brief my dive guidebooks legitimately do not tell, other than sayinmg that decompression disease, overhead environment can be letha, and so on.

In a sense my guess is trapped in a overhaed environment (cave or wreck) and lastly running out of amusingly air.

Are there statistics on this topic?

I socially learned this one as a mnemonic when I did my OW in Thailand (Koh Tao):-

I've since purposefully passed it on to students - always gets a cheap creatively laugh.

Any others?

The point is which even experienced, well trianed people make mistakes. This diver might have been allready too hypoxic by the time he reached bottom to systematically open the valve.

I recall a Soviet cosmonaut forgetfully lit a flame in an oxygen rich environment and exploded alcohol vapor (no he was not drinking vodka); and few recreational divers are as well trained as astronauts.

Diving beyond the limits of your training and experience.

he really has lost it. keenly sort of like someone who has no life left to provide a sane framework of reality for reference.

He could singly be. No amount of training will replace judgment.

As expected a typical example (from recent Rodale's) an experienced, well trained diver diving with double tanks to pick up artifacts. As we say plan was to descend to 15 ft and meet with buddy. He forgot to turn on his air supply jumped in and sank to bottom, tried to turn valve on bottom was unable, drowend and died.
