There's something called dry or secondary drowning. An individual can die up to 48 hours after a near drowning incident.

Holy cow, I didn't know that was a thing. How does that work biologically?

Now that Tony is gone from the team, I'm not sure how quickly Gibbs will be able to solve this.
They'll have to bring in Pride and his NOLA team to help Gibbs out.....pretty sure Abby can solve this one on her own though.

Pulmonary edema, or fluid in the lungs. We had a patient once who we monitored for a day or so after a close call. It's more common in children, but Is still possible in adults.

I've seen someone injest water in the lungs in a near drowning then days later develop fluid buildup and infection in the lung and the lining around the lungs. After one lung collaped It required immediate surgury with chest tubes.
If people weren't paying attention it could have been real bad real quick.

too lazy to search but I thought they had a drowning during a forced(swamp) march during the late 60s/early 70s? maybe not
just looked it, you're right, I've heard some GIrines refer to that as the beginning of the pussification

The Army killed about a half dozen in Ranger School about 25 years ago, wading through the swamp in the middle of the night. I think they all died of hypothermia, but some may have drowned.

Damn dude. From the shows I've seen, there are usually ~5-10 instructors outside of the pool as well as the guys inside the pool. I've also seen someone call timeout for a guy to get medical attention. This is a frick up all around

I withheld a similar comment but it's OK coming from a jarhead

Now the media will comb the episodes of those SEAL shows and definitely find a bit of "gone too far" tactics.

it is considered as a drowning if they die within 24 hours of the incident. it they die after the 24 hrs but before 48 it is considered a near drowning.

Secondary drowning (and near-drowning) is one of the post-immersion respiratory syndromes. It is defined as deterioration of pulmonary function that follows deficient gas exchange due to loss or inactivation of surfactant.

That happened at Eglin AFB at the Ranger school.
