Drowning

There are 5 stages to drowning.

The first stage is surprise; there is no screaming or yelling and the victim is afraid…they are in a near vertical position…

The 2nd stage is involuntary breath holding, they are now below the water and the body involuntary closes the epiglottis which closes the airways…

Next the person becomes unconcious, the body shuts down from lack of o2..the body sinks either rapidly or slowly depends on conditions, 

Next is the stage of convulisions…there may be violent jerking or convulsions of the body, due to the fact of lack of oxygen, then they may go rigid…

Next is death.. the person actully goes into cardiac arrest, but being unconcious they dont feel the pain,,, so there is no signs of horror it all happens all so quickly after you go under the water.
