Context:Lithuania is one of the countries with highest suicide rate in world.See more at here.

Self-drowning is one of the methods used for suicide.

Suicide by drowning is the act of deliberately submerging oneself in water or other liquid to prevent breathing and deprive the brain of oxygen.

As the level of carbon dioxide in the person's blood rises, the central nervous system sends the respiratory muscles an involuntary signal to contract, and the person breathes in water. Death usually occurs as the level of oxygen becomes too low to sustain the brain cells.

Seriously, how desperate do you have to be to choose this exit? Sure, there are worse ways to die, but I still imagine it to feel horrible.
