It does not say this. Exodus 14:28 says that Pharoah's army was drowned. Now, typically a leader in this day would lead his army into battle. If Pharoah did this, then he drowned. If not, then he did not drown, but he could not come after the Hebrew with no army. The Bible does not say specifically that Pharoah was drowned.
Some people actually believe that "King Tut" was the Pharoah during the Exodus. If this is so, then Pharoah did not drown. He just sent his army. This seems mnore likely anyways because he was Pharoah, so why would he himself go after them when he had this huge army?
Some people would like to believe that this is all fictional, but actually remnants of Pharoah's chariots have been found at the bottom of the Red Sea. Now, granted it's not much left since it was thousands of years ago, but the wheels and metals, such as gold, are still there.

It doesn't. His army drowned. Some movies added the Pharaoh to the drowning army for dramatic effect.
See Exodus 14:28

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_II
Ramesses II was not drowned in the Sea and the biblical account makes no specific claim that the pharaoh was with his army when they were "swept ... into the sea." In fact, Jewish tradition appears to indicate that Pharaoh was the only Egyptian to survive the Red Sea, and later became the King of Nineveh in the Book of Jonah.

Read Exodus chapter 14. It speaks of Pharaoh gathering together his army and horsemen and tells of the splitting of the Red Sea. It also tells of the water overtaking the Egyptians. It does not mention Pharaohs name but says that all were destroyed. Considering he was leading his army one might speculate that he too was drowned.

Egyptian history doesn't record any of these alleged events concerning Moses and the Jewish exile, but history does indicate that the Jewish people were not enslaved to the Egyptian government, and that the whole "exodus" story is essentially fictional.

Pharaoh died along with his Egyptian army. He, in fact led them in the chase of Moses and the Israelites. (Please read the last Scripture quoted)
(Exodus 14:5-6--"And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us? And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him"
Exodus 14:28--"And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them."
Neh 9:11--" You divided the sea in front of them, so they passed through the sea on dry ground. And You threw those who went after them into the deep sea, like a stone into troubled waters."
Psalm 106:9-11---" So He spoke sharp words to the Red Sea and it dried up. And He led them through the sea as through a desert. He saved them from the hand of those who hated them. He set them free from the hand of those who went against them. And the waters covered those who hated them. Not one of them was left."
PSALM 136:13-16--"to Him who divided the Red Sea into parts, for His mercy endureth for ever; and made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for His mercy endureth for ever; but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for His mercy endureth for ever; to Him who led His people through the wilderness, for His mercy endureth for ever"
Pharaoh refused to acknowledge the one true God and brought persecution upon God's people and for that he lost his life.

The Psalms furnish evidence that Pharaoh himself died in the Red Sea.— Psalms 136:15 - "And Jehovah God who shook off Phar′aoh and his military force into the Red Sea."

No he didn't. His men did. Pharoah himself suffered from boils and festering scabs, not to mention the fact that he had worms. Thanks to Moses and Aaron.
