Popular Post Harsh Jones Posted June 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2023 More to this perhaps ? Usually in a drowning, the person panics and flails away until they go under.

realfunster Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I understand the refractive properties of water but from the picture, which appears to show the 'deep' end, that doesn't look very deep at all and he was with company. I wonder if something is lost in translation here and there were other medical problems involved, rather than a drowning ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better guess might be a bad reaction of low quality sex-pills in combination with alcohol and a weak heart.
