bathtub drowning
Submerged in porcelain
Bathtub drowning is death by submersion in a bathtub, whether accidental, suicidal, or homicidal.
Young children and elderly adults are most vulnerable to accidental bathtub drowning.
The phrase also appears in crime contexts, where staging a death as accidental bathtub drowning may conceal murder: Investigators suspected the bathtub drowning was no accident.
