According to websites, drowning is horrible and torture. Burning lugs is like lungs on fire

But here is a study that suggests otherwise: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8928428/

I extracted relevant information from that text below:

I finally inhaled (water). All the tension in my chest instantly cleared and it felt almost as if I were breathing in air. I was cold which was alarming considering the water was warm, but I didn't exactly care. My whole body had gone lax and I let my eyes slip shut. It felt just like falling asleep.

Thank you very much for sharing the link. I wouldn't have thought of searching for scientific studies on drowning. Very helpful and relatable.
