Dry Drowning?

Found this really wild article:

Boy Dies of Drowning After Walking Home from Pool

I couldn't believe it.

Most frightening comment in the article:

According to the latest figures, about 3,600 Americans died from drowning in 2005, said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including a small percentage that die up to 24 hours later because of water entering the respiratory system. A not insignificant number of the victims are children who died after having a bath.

Yikes!!
