Canals in the UK are only 3 feet deep and don't have strong currents. There's literally nothing stopping you from standing up. Who believes this crap?

men have historically died drowning face first in the very urinal they were pissing in while blacking out drunk, so... 🤷‍♂

@DeeJayCheez0 You have no idea, but there are a lot of possibilities: shock, mud, weeds, panic. The man pictured clearly has special needs of some sort and may have pulled the carer under in his fear. Who knows? Not essentially nonsense, though.

Since you have posted this 4 times in 3 months, you clearly have a bit of obsession with the story.
@FreddieUK If my posts get more people to question these made up stories (which do seem an awful lot like some weird AI benchmarking if you ask me) then what's so wrong about that? You say this like the media has never been corrupt before, or the media doesn't have an "obsession" with making things up.

@sp1dwoOfe221 but he’s not in a urinal or drunk

Canals were built during the industrial revolution. They were lined with several feet of thick clay or 'puddling' which is to make them water tight. Whilst most canals are only three or four feet deep, that clay can suck you deeper and prevent you from being able to move or get out.

You can drown in 3 inches of water.
The temperature of the water may be more important. It doesnt need to be freezing before your body starts shutting down.

You obviously know nothing about how much water is needed to drown in.

@FreddieUK Nobody's saying you can't drown in a puddle blahblahblah, yeah, if you're unconscious. But these people weren't unconscious so what was stopping them from standing up? Utter nonsense.

Anyone with any sense and basic water safety knowledge will believe it, not you.
