Former MSSC Justice McRae in ICU in Mexico

Former state high court Justice McRae in ICU after scuba diving incident in Cozumel

Former state Supreme Court Justice Chuck McRae is in the intensive care unit at a Cozumel, Mexico, hospital after a scuba diving incident.

McRae’s daughter, attorney Rebecca McRae Langston, is in Mexico with her father.

“I’m not sure what happened,” Langston said in a message. “He’s been diving for decades, depths over 100 feet and night dives included. They claim he went down 20 feet and panicked. I don’t know if it was something more serious. He aspirated a lot of salt water.”
