We have read with great interest the article recently published by Schneppe et al [1]. According to the authors, the purpose of the study was to analyse the frequencies of the signs of drowning described in the forensic literature and identify possible influencing factors. Cardiac pathologies can support drowning death and reduce the pathophysiological mechanism of drowning in the event of accidents in the water. According to the authors, the boundaries between natural death in water and atypical drowning are fluid, and morbidity is an important factor in deaths in water. None of the signs of drowning examined by the authors guaranteed a high diagnostic certainty. …
