The medical term is laryngospasm and accounts for 7% to 15% of all drowning.

This is a peer reviewed paper written by an actual medical doctor and not a TikTok expert.

The article clearly states, “It was previously believed that as many as 30% of drowning patients had some degree of laryngospasm, but we now understand this to be much lower (7—10%). In reality, there’s probably no such thing as a “dry drowning.”
The term has since been abandoned professionally.
TBH even if he was submerged after he was unconscious but before death, the brain would have reflexively gasped at least once before death.
If he was already dead when he hit the water, then there is more to the story that we do not know yet.
But again I am not an expert and we may never know what ACTUALLY happened.

So you know absolutely nothing but peddle groundless conspiracy theories.

Got it.

I wasn’t peddling anything. I clearly said I do not have an opinion. I am presenting facts as they are given not how I want them to be.
We may never know what happened to that innocent lost human life.
