Maybe I'm being a bit picky, BUT !

"Drowning incident" would indicate someone has passed away.

"Unconscious  body". Unconscious,  one is still alive. "Body" deceased.

I drowned once.  I was hit in the head by my surf board and was revived on the beach by life guards  In Southern California.  It was classified as a head injury and subsequent drowning.  I spent several years as a young guy as a life guard, summer job at the Jersey shore.

 

We pulled out numerous people who were drowning.  Fortunately we revived all but one. The police reports were all described as drownings.

The article link said he was out on a small sailboat.  No life vest?  Not a good swimmer?  They said they saw him struggling.

I love the Thai media.

 

FYI, "drowning or being electrocuted" means your dead.

If the trems drowned or electrotuted were made by a member on here I'd agree, a bit picky. But coming from a socalled jurno, I would ecpect a bit more accuracy.

But hey, that's just me.
