First of all, my condolences to the family.
"I think she was so engrossed in her work that
she didn't check her air and ran out, having to
make a rapid ascent."
IMO, that was not as much of a problem as her grabbing
a bottle and doing additional safety stop time w/out
a buddy. Also, according to some accounts her second
tank bobbed to the surface after a few minutes. Isn't
a tank, lets say AL and at least half full, at best
neutral at depth?
