Zachary Moore, 21, a 2004 Fairhope High School graduate, died Tuesday afternoon at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, after collapsing at the University of Alabama Aquatic Center.

UA spokesperson Cathy Andreen said the business major and junior classman suddenly fell ill while taking part in a beginner’s scuba diving class at the facility.

“It would be inaccurate to say he drowned,” said Andreen. “At this time, the cause of death is not known.”

Moore, who according to university records was a Bay Minette resident, was pronounced dead at the hospital around 2:45 p.m. CPR efforts on campus were unsuccessful.

Andreen said the class takes place from 1 to 2:30, and someone called 911 around 2. Moore’s death is being investigated by the Tuscaloosa Area Multi-Agency Task Force.
