I have a stupid question....?!


Question: I have a stupid question!.!.!.!.!?
Ok, If you know how to swim, how do you become a drowning victim!? I don't mean small children but adults!. If an adult knows how to swim then how s it they drown in a pool that they have been swimming in all there lives!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
They could have some kind of attack like a heart attack and drowned!.

Maybe they dived in the shallow end and knocked themselves out!.

EDIT: Sorry for you loss but if you want more answers you will need to have an autopsy done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stacks of reasons:

Heart attack
Stroke
Cramps
Fainting
Blackouts etc etc

The problem is that "drowning" is air BREATHED into the lungs (if a body is found in water and there is water in the lungs, the person was alive when they entered the water!. If they were dead when their body went in, water would not get past the trachea and into the lungs)!.

So basically, there is a huge chance that a post-mortem would show that although the cause of death was drowning, some other ailment was the cause of being stuck in the water!.

Obviously in open water you have currents etc to take into consideration, but if this happened in a pool, I would guess one of the above!.

Sorry for your loss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Haha, I often wonder that!.

Well many adults who drown are either being held down by somebody or are drunk :D All it takes is to breathe in underwater, and you're gone!.

The weirdest is when people drown in fountains, like in Trafalgar Square, where the water is about a foot deep!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think your question is STUPID!.!.!.!. at all, Maybe there was an underlying health problem that they didn't know about!. Hopefully there is an Autopsy being done, To put your mind at ease!. My thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your Family!. God Bless!Www@Answer-Health@Com

fatigue is the main thing!. if someone is tired, no matter how good a swimmer they r, they will loose energy and then eventually find it hard 2 keep their head above the water resulting in drowningWww@Answer-Health@Com
