Drowning
Whether someone just didn't know how to swim or was held underwater or something else, if their lungs filled with water (or perhaps some other liquid) and could no longer breathe, here is where it should be.

The sign of the cross did not appear to help in any way. Crazy how a slightly odd jump angle sealed her fate. The cold shock and panic might have forced her to fill her lungs with water then that’s it… surprised they couldn’t fish her out though she couldn’t have made it too far. Usually we do this where it’s shallow pretty close to shore where a sauna awaits. I wonder if that’s the case here or if it was a significant depth.

What is this, why does it exist, and what sorts of bodies of water is it usually done in? Another commenter said the divers thought she might have been swept away in a current.
People jump into Lake Michigan in the winter in this area, but Lake Michigan is too huge to freeze entirely.

Well in the US Midwest it’s usually called a “Polar Plunge” there is typically a sauna on shore and plenty of emergency personnel. Generally the purpose is to raise money/awareness for some kind of charity.
