What happens during the disease - accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : unspecified watercraft
The pathogenesis of drowning and submersion due to an accident to an unspecified watercraft is a multi-faceted process. the primary event is the accident itself, which can involve any number of variables, such as the speed and size of the watercraft, the environment, and the actions of the people involved. this can result in the watercraft capsizing or otherwise becoming submerged, trapping the passengers and crew in the water. if they are unable to escape, they may become submerged and drown. this can be further exacerbated by the effects of cold water immersion, hypothermia, and the presence of hazardous substances in the water.
