-
The act of plunging, or being entirely plunged, in a liquid. Asphyxia by submersion, A. Immersorum, Drowning, is not owing to a certain quantity of liquid being introduced into the alimentary or air-passages; but simply to the interception of air, and of the respiratory phenomena. It is a case of suffocation, the signs of which, on dissection, are equivocal, without circumstantial evidence.
