Nobody inhales water when they suffocate in snow. They soffocate because the ice crystals that form around their nose and mouth fuse into an air tight barrier. The cavity is depleted of oxygen and they die. So if instead of having a "death mask" form, they have snow packed in their throat shutting off their lungs it doesn't count as suffocating? |
