Answer 2

Dry drowning is when a person's lungs become unable to extract oxygen from the air, due primarily to:

Muscular paralysis
Puncture wound to the torso (affecting ability of diaphragm to create respiratory movement)
Changes to the oxygen-absorbing tissues
Persistence of laryngospasm when immersed in fluid
The person may effectively drown without any sort of fluid. In cases of dry drowning in which the victim was immersed, very little fluid is aspirated into the lungs. The laryngospasm reflex essentially causes asphyxiation and neurogenic pulmonary oedema.

Dry drowning can occur clinically, or due to illness or accident, or be deliberately (and repeatedly) induced in torture. It can be traumatizing, and it can be deadly.
