How does drowning occur?

In: Health, Emotions [Edit categories]

Answer:

Drowning is death from asphyxia (deficient oxygen to the body) due to suffocation caused by a liquid entering the lungs preventing the absorption of oxygen. It leads to cerebral hypoxia (inadequate oxygen to the brain) and myocardial infarcation (lack of oxygen to the heart). If you mean the act of someone being drown it would be from:
Drugs+swiming
Drinking+swiming
Not know how to swim + going in water
One person is mad at another + water= easy death
something is restraining a person from swiming up
