La noyade sèche désigne en fait une mort par noyade, mais où il n'y a pas d'eau dans les poumons de la victime [...] C'est une situation qui survient lorsque le larynx se referme (un laryngospasme) en réaction à l'inhalation d'eau, mais qui, ce faisant, empêche l'oxygène de monter au cerveau. Dans ce cas, la mort survient dans les minutes qui suivent.
