The recent death while solo free diving in a Florida cavern is certainly a tragedy.
I wonder what possesses people to do something like that. I have zero knowledge of cavern diving, free diving, and cave diving, and have only been snorkeling once in my life. I have free-dived a very short cave sump before, but only after taking precautions. ( and once in Honeycreek in a duck-under ) However, here it would seem there would be a safer way to visit the twilight zone of an underwater cavern, Such as using flexible tubing connected to a snorkel and have the tubing firmly attached to the surface or even to some sort of air pump. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuba I think I would feel comfortable and safe doing that.
