[...] insuffisance respiratoire résultant de la submersion ou de l'immersion en milieu liquide.

OBS

Selon la définition de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé, une personne est victime de noyade dès qu'il y a présence de liquide à l'entrée de ses voies respiratoires, l'empêchant ainsi de respirer de l'air. Ainsi, la noyade n'entraîne pas nécessairement la mort; elle peut être mortelle, non mortelle avec séquelles ou non mortelle sans séquelles.
