Narrative:

Precautionary shut down of engine #2 due to dropping oil pressure. First indication: low oil pressure light on instrument panel. Confirmed by oil pressure gauge on so's panel. Shut down at 10-15 psi, followed by loss of all oil quantity. Crew followed emergency procedures, used cockpit resource management, diverted to atlanta (nearest suitable airport). No corrective actions required. Crew performance was excellent. Supplemental information from acn 299624: maintenance informed me that oil line came loose losing all the oil in #2 engine.
