The husband of a top New Jersey lawyer has tragically died during a deep-dive expedition to a shipwreck off the coast of Cape Cod.

Joe Mazraani had successfully conducted countless dives in his work as president of Atlantic Wreck Salvage.

On July 29, he was diving with a group from his boat Tenacious when he reportedly suffered a medical emergency.

He was hauled back onto the boat and other divers attempted to perform life-saving measures, but he could not be revived.

Mazraani's wife, New Jersey Public Defender Jennifer Sellitti, said 'all indications point to a medical emergency.'
