Apparently this woman died twice.

Thank you.

What a horrible thing for her children to go through.

You just made me laugh at a tragic accident.

Meanie.

Huh?  I must've missed something.  Did they change the link to the story?  I fail to find any humor in it.

Generally 'drowning' means to die by suffocating in water or another liquid substance, so I guess to say a lady 'dies after drowning' could be read as she drowned (died) and then died again after that. I saw the comedy.

Can you drown without dying?   Perhaps technically you can.   To me, drowning implies the person was not revived.  Otherwise it's a "near drowning."   Anyhow, this woman apparently drowned, and then died.  Impressive.

Ah, "dies after drowning".

Sorry I have my "obtuse" shoes on today. []

The movie "So I married an axe murdered" had a woman in it talking about how horrible it was being electrocuted, claiming past experience. No-one corrected her either.

So, who murdered the axe?  Or was she murdered when she married the axe?  Ah, the english language.

I've heard it referred to before when someone gets shocked with electricity and survives as "being electrocuted".  I'm not talking about grabbing the prongs on a 110V plug, more like 480V.

"Drowned" does have more of a finality to it.  Of course, I've drowned my sorrows before and they didn't die right away. []

I left my ability to type in my other pants.

That's funny.  We both had wardrobe issues today which affect comprehension or spelling...
