"Drown"

"Drown" refers to the process where a person becomes submerged in water and is unable to breathe because their airway is blocked by water. This can happen if someone falls into a body of water or is unable to swim. The lack of oxygen from not being able to breathe can quickly lead to unconsciousness and, if not rescued promptly, can be fatal. Drowning can occur silently and unexpectedly, making it important to supervise near water and learn safety measures. It’s a serious emergency that requires immediate rescue and medical attention.
