I have read that it is painful.
However, when the head is plunged into icy cold water, the brain shuts down rapidly. Some people have bitten into an ice cream cone and immediately lost their vision (for a while), because the optic nerve got chilled.
So he might have gone unconscious before he started drowning.
My sympathies for your loss.
I feel shortness of breath. What locations in Manhattan, KS carry over-the-counter rescue inhalers right now?
