They have no railing there as villagers wash their clothes in the river because the quality of the water is pretty good.

The husband, who worked overtime that evening/night came to find his wife the next day as she wasn't home and he found her shoes floating in the river and alarmed police. Family told the woman was addicted to game playing on her cell-phone. The water is only 5 ft deep there but has a slippery underground.
She leaves two kids under the age of 10.

This is not the first time people died in that provence this year from mobile phone overuse/distraction police told.

In June a guy was found dead in bed laying on his side with his phone still in his hands. He was addicted to microblogging all nights long. Autopsy revealed he suffered a cardiac disease and had a sudden death. He left behind a 6-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son.

In Oct. a man was watching TV on his mobile phone and crossed the street right in the path of a truck who mangled him to death.

Nov. A 41 year old man crossed a railroad crossing while playing games on his mobile phone. He dropped his phone, tried to pick it up before the train arrived but was grabbed by the train and died on the spot.

May: A young woman wearing a short skirt answered a phone call while crossing the street when a van appeared from her right and knocked her to the ground where she was greeted by a dump truck who run her over.

Dec. A BMW driver answered a phone call while driving on an overpass and didn't notice a traffic police officer who he hit. The officer died due to a cracked skull.

Other provences report a rise in deadly traffic accidents also caused by mobile phone use.

Interesting that they have such anthropomorphic vehicles in China: trains that grab and trucks that greet: "Well, how do you do, Mr. Dump Truck, I hope you have a good day too!"

In spite of the second law of thermodynamics, crystallization of pure liquids usually begins at a lower temperature than the melting point, due to high activation energy of homogeneous nucleation. The creation of a nucleus implies the formation of an interface at the boundaries of the new phase. Some energy is expended to form this interface, based on the surface energy of each phase. If a hypothetical nucleus is too small, the energy that would be released by forming its volume is not enough to create its surface, and nucleation does not proceed. Freezing does not start until the temperature is low enough to provide enough energy to form stable nuclei. In presence of irregularities on the surface of the containing vessel, solid or gaseous impurities, pre-formed solid crystals, or other nucleators, heterogeneous nucleation may occur, where some energy is released by the partial destruction of the previous interface, raising the supercooling point to be near or equal to the melting point. The melting point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure is very close to 0 °C (32 °F, 273.15 K), and in the presence of nucleating substances the freezing point of water is close to the melting point, but in the absence of nucleators water can super cool to −40 °C (−40 °F, 233 K) before freezing.[1][2] Under high pressure (2,000 atmospheres) water will super cool to as low as −70 °C (−94 °F, 203 K) before freezing.[3]

All totally irrelevant. Nobody ever drowns in ice, and "freezing water" is, by definition ice (or in the process of turning into ice). BTW nothing ever happens "in spite of the Second Law of Thermodynamics", rather everything happens in accordance with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This is why it is called a "law".

Was there a particular reason they mentioned the short skirt? Did it somehow have something to do with why she got killed? Would she have survived if she was wearing pants?
