> I guess that sort of death goes under the “drowning” category How could it be? Do you plug your drain when you shower? Are the investigators in your area too lazy to find head trauma?

In my shower/tub combo, I sometimes accidentally plug the drain by bumping the attached drain cover with my foot, causing it to slightly turn and fall into place. This could easily happen if I fell. Sometimes I have a slow drain and I don't fix the until it becomes slow enough to fill up substantially during my shower. If I were unconscious in the sub with the shower running, it could have enough time to fill up. Thi…

That was very informative, decent reasons not to let your drain maintenance get out of hand, or leave the stopper next to the drain.

> I had a friend in college who liked to take showers while pass-out drunk. He flooded the adjoining rooms several times when his unconscious body blocked the drain. Luckily this shower was not a tub or he may not have survived these incidents.

Jesus Christ, I wouldn't know about college, but that seem crazy. I hope your friend got the help he needed.

if after falling the shower head is aimed towards your face you can probably drown. The fall only knocked you out, the water caused death.

I wonder if there is a forensic term for a "one-two punch" of this sort.

Look at the batteries lifespan, it's like 25 years. Go look at data before spewing nonsense.

li-ion battery lifespans are generally calculated in power cycles. They don't really age with years... Generally, power cells have about 300-500 power cycles until there is a significant drop in performance. This is one of the major faults of EV that is often quoted, as some parts of the batteries aren't recycled. So, you're essentially trading the co2 pollution to toxic waste. maybe you should check the facts before…

Maybe you should?
