Was Hans Korompis In An Accident?
Hans Korompis is rumored to have had an accident when he went diving at Mukilteo, WA. His family never heard from him after he went diving.
On July 17, some news reported about an Edmonds man disappearing during a recreational dive. He was not found even after two days and a search of more than 100 square miles of water.
Officials from the Mukilteo police and fire departments responded to a cry for help on Friday at Lighthouse Park, where two divers had gone into the ocean, but only one had returned to shore.
As mentioned in the news source, the Coast Guard said that the weather conditions were bad both in and around the water. The search continued for two days as the rescue team spent several hours using a drone and a boat with sonar to look for the diver.
Following the search on the second day, the Mukilteo Police Department said they could not locate him. It stated that more information would only be provided as the incident progressed. But since then, there has been no news.
The police did not identify the missing diver and only told the public that he was a 33-year-old man from Edmond. Therefore, it is unsure if the victim was Hans or not.
