US man drowns while proposing underwater to his girlfriend

per Yahoo:

An American man has drowned while proposing to his girlfriend underwater at an idyllic island off the coast of Tanzania, a luxury resort said in a statement Sunday.

His girlfriend Kenesha Antoine posted on her Facebook page footage of Steven Weber proposing to her through the window of their underwater hotel room at the luxury Manta Resort in Zanzibar.

"You never emerged from those depths so you never got to hear my answer, 'Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!'," she wrote Friday in a post confirming his death.

Her video shows Weber swimming up to the window, and pressing a handwritten note against it which read: "I can't hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you, but everything I love about you I love more every day. Will you please be my wife, marry me."

He then pulled out a ring as Antoine squealed with joy while filming.

It is unclear what went wrong during the proposal at Pemba Island, a popular honeymoon destination.

"We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable," Antoine wrote.

Ok. He was really really dumb, and it cost him his life.

People die from accidents every day. There are many that are truly tragic. There are many that die through no fault of their own.

Then there are these occasions.

When you go down for a woman, you need to know when to come up for air.

I would never have asked my wife this way. I wanted to hear the answer and to see her put on the engagement ring. Plus, I fear the ocean for what it is, the feasting ground of all types of predators, like the Rainbow Bullet shrimp.

Are you talking underwater sex with scuba gear on/
