So, when you set fire to yourself the temperature of your feet goes down? The world is so confusing!

Sagar Janjale, a young man from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India, attended a party with his brother-in-law. The party was still lively until midnight, with many people playing and chatting in the swimming pool. Janjale also went into the water with everyone, but less than 30 seconds later, he drowned in the swimming pool due to everyone's negligence. He was not found until some time later, but he had died on the spot.

According to comprehensive Indian media reports, the accident occurred at around 0:57 am on March 31. At that time, the party attended by Jiajiaer and his brother-in-law attracted many influential people in Bhopal. When everyone was swimming or standing in the pool, the monitor captured the scene at the far end of the pool, and Jiajiaer entered the water at the farthest point, away from the sight of others.

Jajal tried to get closer to the others, but after just a few meters, he sank into the water. Although he struggled and splashed, he did not attract anyone's attention. At the other end of the pool, others were still chatting casually, and adults stood in the water, accompanying children wearing buoys to swim.

Sure, but this guy doesn't seem like he wanted to be in the deep water to begin with (...not a strong argument, I know ). We can see he started kicking the second he lost his grip on the ledge and entered the deep water, which seems odd if his intention was to drown. However, I do recall a good documentary about suicide called The Bridge, where a guy talks about the instant regret he had the second he jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, so there may be something to the suicide angle.

But idk, to me it seems like his initial focus was getting to the side with people by holding onto the wall, but his hand slipped a couple times causing his head to go underwater, and trigger the passive drowning response, which would've prevented him from shouting for help. It's not surprising the other folks missed the signs, they're pretty subtle. Had there been a lifeguard on duty though, they would've recognized them and would've been in the water a few seconds after his hand left the side of the pool.
