Drowning Cases Often Hid By Suffocation, Say Banting Panel
A 1938 investigation by Sir Frederick Banting and the Health League of Canada finds that many apparent drownings are caused by larynx spasm rather than water in the lungs. Breathing must be restored quickly with rhythmic artificial respiration, keeping air passages clear, or death may follow despite the victim being under water. Readers are urged to share true drowning experiences with The Health League of Canada in Toronto.
