Ever heard of dry drowning?
Location:
3013 Hollins St.,
Bakersfield, CA
Apparently, you don't need to swallow water to drown. Officials are doing an autopsy on 17-year-old Sarah Foster, who they say drowned last night at a house on 3013 Hollins St. Her parents came home, couldn't find her, but eventually found her at the bottom of the pool. Police and coroner's officials say there's no indication anything else happened except that she drowned. But the coroner's office still has to do microscopic testing to determine the exact cause. She could have dry drowned, but it's not likely, said John Van Rensselaer, supervising deputy coroner. It's when a death occurs due to lack of oxygen or cardiac arrest, according to eHow. The phenomenon was highlighted a few months ago when a 10-year-old from South Carolina "drowned" an hour after being out of the pool. — Jorge Barrientos, Breaking News Reporter 7 comments from 6 users

Please show some compassion and respect for Sarah's family and friends and remember them in your prayers. I am friends with her grandmother, who is heartbroken. I would certainly hope and that each of you would be treated with more kindness if it was you who suffered such a loss. posted by

bewiggins, lighten up, no ones picking at the young Lady, no ones making remarks about her. We all! feel for her and her family but, that's not what's being referred to here. Comments are on dry drowning and not her.
