Death by Drowning - Bloated Body of a Drowned Man Photo

They say death by drowning is the worst death of all. At least it’s one of the most common answers among general public when asked which is the worst death they could imagine – majority of people picks death by drowning. I guess it’s the fear of suffocation and the helplessness most of us have experienced in one way or another when learning to swim and someone pulled a joke on you weighted you down in deep water. Everything else goes aside when you’re pulled under water, so I do think death by drowning deserves its prize for being the most feared death of all.

According to incomplete story that comes with the photo of a bloated man above, it’s the body of one of two brothers who went swimming and this one got caught in fishing nets and drowned. The story has it his body was not found until seven days later, which is why he’s so bloated and seems to be missing skin on his face (perhaps it was eaten by the fish?). However I can’t imagine a brother abandoning his brother who’d drown while he’s there. Why would it take 7 days to fish him out of the water? Furthermore, if he truly got caught in the fishing nets, that would mean he would not get carried away by running water. Anyway – story simply doesn’t add up, at least not to me, but what do I know.

Provided the story is true, though, this man would have gone through exactly the type of death so many people fear. He’d get caught in the fishing net that keeps him stuck under water and he knows he only has seconds before he falls unconscious, he keeps struggling to get himself out, but time is against him. He gets weaker every second and twitching just gets his stuck deeper in the net. He eventually takes a breath of water, his lungs will with liquids causing cerebral hypoxia which then leads to death by drowning. Once abandoned in water, his body bloats like in photo above. Why his face is missing, I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine there.

What do you think? Is death by drowning the worst death a man can suffer, or does seeing horrific videos of people getting killed affect your jour judgment in this manner and you’d rather drown than be, let’s say beheaded?

    I knew a coroner who told me that drowning victims show
    the worst signs of internal trauma (agony at death).
    Your breath reflex takes in water.
    You go into convulsions like an epileptic having a seizure.
    This can go on for several long minutes
    before you finally pass out and die.
    A slow agonizing end to be sure.

    I PREFER DROWNING
    INSTEAD OF BEING BEHEADED BY MUSLIM FAG’S
    DIE MUSLIMS DIE

      your brain is empty and spacious, like the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racist. let go of your insecurities, because however much you hate a minority it does nothing if you cant act, and even if you attempt to act your own people will attack you. your keyboard power means NOTHING neither does your existence or anything else anyone on this ball of shit does/says, remember you are only temporary, God is not

      • Fuckyou says:

        First off, Muslims are not a minority, Dumbshit! And it’s the preachy diarrhea pouring out of your mouth that has no power through the keyboard. Nothing that we say or do will be remembered, but atleast we believe in something. FUCK MUSLIMS.

        • Elgatoloco says:

          Islam is supreme.You and Tonny are just Fags who hid behind a keyboard and wank all day.
          Go fuck yourself.
          hahahahhahahahahahhaha!!!

    I dunno.
    Beheading is horrible.
    Your impending doom awaiting you, the feeling of your throat being ripped apart with a knife?
    The feeling of blood literally flying out of your body.

    Both deaths are horrible to think of.

  9. SARAHCAT says:

    How old was this guy? I guess this is the most horrible way to die, I’d rather be shot dead, or die in my sleep

  10. lol says:

    i take it this guy was thirsty

  11. Dr. Doom says:

    I am a former Paramedic, the actual death from drowning, once you can’t hold your breath any longer that is, & you take that gulp of water, death is relatively fast & painless.

  12. acidburn666 says:

    omg…i just watched a vid on here of some dude being ‘beheaded’ which was actually a dude having his throat cut but extreme…i wouldn’t have a clue which could possibly be worse. I hope that Dr.Doom is right………

  13. JohnSmithfield says:

    Um, I’d think dieing to fire would be the worst. Imagine having gasoline poured all over you and then someone lights you on fire, while you are tied to a chair. so you can’t try to drop and roll or anything and you burn alive. But drowing is still bad, as well as beheading.

  14. CrabCakes says:

    why did he get all bloated :\ ???

  15. Bradley says:

    Crabcakes,all bodies bloat like that,its from the gasses produced by rotting organs,then the torso bursts open and the gasses are released.

  16. doris says:

    drowning is a nice way to go apparantly.
    The struggling is what freaks people out, but if you just relax and inhale, you just drift off.

  17. cyocyo says:

    imagine when the lungs explode before his death!

  18. William says:

    His face isn’t missing, he was so bloated by all of the water that his skull came out of his head more then likely it is resting at the bottom of wherever he drown.

  19. WS the beast says:

    That looks terrible, I’d have to say this ranks up there with burning alive and slow mutilation as the worst death…in no particular order of course. And what the hell is that protruding from his right leg?

    Lookin’ A Little Bloated There Friend, Must Of Been Something He Ate.

    wow this just creeped me out! imagine swimming in water and u dive down and find a body? we swim in oceans and rivers where most people are murdered or lost. Im currently writing a biography about a person who dove in water and landed on top of three decaying bodies of a small family. the story includes how it affected her veiws to death and how she handled the situations. but she later died of an unknown disease that came from the rotting corpses. It sounds like a boring story but i made it very interesting i just need a few more days to have it copied and bound.

    was dat the biggest catch that fisherman got

  23. Sarah says:

    Sounds like an interesting book…

  24. dad says:

    his nipples are lookin awfully hard

  25. kalyx says:

    Anonymous what is the title of your book, when will it be published? can you give us the whole book in a PDF or something?

  26. Sinistrari says:

    Getting caught is one reason to carry a knife, and hope you can cut yourself free. At least to me, that gives a sense of doing something, if it matters or not.

    Getting shot isn’t that quick. That one micro-second of pain still hurts.

    Location, location, location. If this chap got hung up, afterwards he could have been freed by the currents, when he quit moving (which may have made getting loose harder). Or, the net could have broken free, from his movements and/or weight. Then, resting on the bottom, his face could have been worn off by current, sand, or eaten by some form of bottom dwelling fish or animal. The current can play tricks with bodies, making them hard to find. Sadly, this happens all too often near where I live, when you mix alcohol and water. Not being able to find a body has lead to rumors of giant catfish, and other fish, who eat people. Ouch.

    there r 3 fagos uptop ..maby fuckyo is the same person ….”y dont u 3 asshole shut the fuck up and stop talking about religon.

  28. ERnurse says:

    Most people fear drowning, but it’s not a bad way to go. As the amount of oxygen getting to your brain is reduced, they say it’s peaceful. Or as peaceful as it can get. Not that I want to give it a go.

  29. Ecolypse says:

    Hey guys, whatever else you may say about ol’ stiffo up there, I admire him. I mean he was even trying for a bit of self pleasure in his death throes…I mean look at that fine hand action. He makes me proud to be a man. Bravo

  35. x-monsterj0han says:

    it may seem unimportant but i was wondering.. what is that blue thing stuck on his leg?

  36. claudio says:

    i dont’ agree that drowning is the most feared deaths
    how about torturing! or even stoning!
