What is dry drowning? I am also not very sure about it but roughly I do know that it is due to the lung, unable to extract oxygen from the air. The boy was actually swimming but drank some of the swimming pool water that causes asphyxiation, which is the main cause of dry drowning.

Parents should keep a lookout of their children while they are swimming, especially also don’t eat before swimming. The died of dry drowning on Sunday afternoon. After the swim, the boy complaint about feeling unwell and wanted to take a nap, but when someone went to call him up from the nap, he is gone, died of dry drowning.

Water was found coming out from his nose and was having a hard time breathing. I was wondering, where was the lifeguard at that time where CPR can be performed, might be able to save him, who knows.

The boy was sent to Trident Hospital and died later afterwards. The doctor later found out that, his lungs was filled with water which cause dry drowning, parents should take a serious note on this in the future.
