death scenes

If a person falls asleep while relaxing in a bathtub, could he or she slip under the water and drown? In general, no. A normal, healthy person will wake up as soon as he or she starts to inhale soe water. Humans have a gag reflex that will cause them to cough and sputter at times such as this. The same thing happens when you swallow a drink of water “the wrong way.” It’s no fun! Note: Falling asleep and becoming unconscious are two different things. So if a person is under the influence of alcohol or medication or is ill or doesn’t have normal reflexes, he or she may be at risk.
