I suppose an electrical fire is another option, as the ballast released by the self-dissolving bonds might not be enough to bring it to the surface on its own. Or they could be bobbing around on the surface somewhere.
It would be even more tragic if they were bobbing on the surface just waiting for someone to find them while oxygen runs out. You would hope they would have some kind of tool that could get them out inside with them.
