Another one!


That canal is 3 feet deep. I didn't realise that canals magically rob you of your ability to stand up!

This is near a canal, not in it, and people who fall or are thrown into water can be injured on the way in.

Canal towpaths can be high compared to water level and the lack of depth can be a hazard because of that. Canal water does not circulate and a lot of rubbish falls or is thrown in.

Striking a partially submerged shopping trolley after falling or being pushed off a towpath may limit the ability to stand up.

@meJess Cold shock and panic can also disable, making drowing much more likely even in quite shallow water.

Look at the name. He was clearly eaten by wolves.

You can't even understand the headline you quote.

Though quite why "near ... canal" is even in the headline, I have no idea. It's not obviously relevant.

It may as well read "near... road", or "near... houses", or near... field" as the case may be; and in this case the body very likely was near a road, houses and perhaps fields.

We have no idea who the hell you are, nor where the hell you are, but you show a bizarre obsession with deaths, canals and places you know nothing about.

I'm sure there's a lot more of this story to be heard. Numerous reasons why he died in the canal.

Because of the current I guess.

@Jonjdw What, the current desire to understand nowt?
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
@ArishMell you’re right I did not see the part where it said near.

@Jonjdw Errr... It's not you I was criticising but the OP, who did not read the headline properly. :)

(Actually, there are currents in canals but they are generally very slow, often barely discernible. Here though, SurplusTiff likes posting complete rhubarb about canals and deaths in or near them.)
We know there's a lot you don't realise about drowning. You've demonstrated that abundantly for months now 🙄
