Drowning is death caused by the filling of the lungs by a fluid, usually water, rendering breathing impossible and leading to death due to asphyxia. Near drowning is initial survival of a drowning accident, and can lead to serious secondary complications including death later on; cases of near drowning therefore also require attention by medical professionals. Secondary drowning is death due to chemical and biological changes in the lungs after a near drowning incident or exposure to chemicals. In many countries, drownin ...

Suicide by drowning is deliberately entering water and staying there long enough for it to fill the breathing channels. This might be done by walking into water with heavy objects attached to the body to prevent buoyancy or escape. One might drive into water or jump off a ship or boat. This method risks permanent brain damage if rescue arrives after the brain has been deprived of oxygen for several minutes. If a car is driven into water, it will usually stay afloat for quite some time before sinking. After submerging, the pressure out ...

People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins, they wonder whether they are catching cold.

Freezer Burn

She had the clearest blue eyes

Liquid and always wet

I found a sea-bed in her eyes

And enough tears to fill it

She was one with the salt-sea

Her skin smoothed by sand and storm

And she swam within her eyes

And they kept her wet and warm

And the sun never touched her

Pale child of the tide

The water held her warm hand

And she dripped and dropped and dived

The waters held her warm hands

And she splished and splashed and cried

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I want to swim with the cold fish

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I want to fry like the cold fish

I longed to feel what she felt

Yet I could not dive into her eyes

I was tanned and burned and rough

The sun kept me cold and dry

But I needed to know what she knew

So I plunged into her apple-sea

And she pushed me out and said

That she would come to me

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I am going to swim with the cold fish

Please let me drown while I can still feel it

She said I am going to fry like the cold fish

Her eyes had frozen to a crisp

I saw her think then retake her place

She surfaced and drifted ashore

The sun came out and burned her pale face

Her eyes said that she had not felt it

She had frozen long before she fell

And I held her in my cold arms

And I wished that she would melt

And without her rain to wet us

We stood and began to dry

She grabbed ahold of my cold hand

And she tanned and burned and fried

I tightly held her cold hands

And she blistered and cracked and smiled

Water cure or water torture is a form of torture which is intended to make the subject feel the sensation of drowning.

In another variation, the subject is tied or held down in a chair, his face is covered with a cloth or plastic sheet, and water is poured slowly or quickly over his face to encourage him to talk (s ...

Burial at sea describes the procedure of disposing of human remains in the ocean. Two reasons for burial at sea are if the deceased died while at sea and it is impractical to return the remains to shore, or if the deceased died on land but a burial at sea is requested for private or cultural reasons. In the latter case, the body might be cremated and an urn containing ashes is committed to the ocean, or the ashes are scattered on the water. Remains may also be dropped from aircraft. The ashes of a survivor of the USS Arizona (see Attack on Pearl Harbor) have been lai ...

The 1931 Huang He floods (Yellow River Floods) are generally thought to be the deadliest natural disaster of historic times, and almost certainly of the twentieth century (when pandemics are discounted). Estimates of the number of people killed range from 850,000 to 4,000,000. Deaths caused by the flooding include but are not limited to drowning, disease, ensuing famines, and droughts. The Huang He or Yellow River has been prone to flooding due to the broad expanse of almost flat land around it. The 1887 Huang He floods had devastated the area, killing 900,000-2,000,000. ...

In Finnish mythology, Lemminkäinen is a god of magic, or else a sorceror who could "sing the sand into pearls". Lemminkäinen is good looking, yellow wavy haired, and young. He is one of the Heroes of the Kalevala. Lemminkäinen holds the magical sampo. He is associated with water; in one myth he drowns in the river of Tuonela (the underworld) in trying to capture or kill the black swan that lives there as part of an attempt, as Ilmarinen once made, to win a daughter of Louhi (or Loviatar) to wife.
