Comment[edit]

How does one "drown accidentally in a bathtub"? --Shallot 14:43, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Valid point that if you're going to drown, it's necessarily an accident - unless foul play is suspected. The wording is most likely intended to imply that it was an accident rather than a murder - sadly, it's necessary to mention that given the political climate... Krupo 01:08, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

But... how does such an accident happen? How large does a bath tub have to be for someone to stop breathing in it enough to drown?? --Joy [shallot]

I have no idea. To use a completely different example, warnings were issued in the USA about 5 to 10 L buckets, which toddlers could drown in if they were to fall in head-first. I don't know what kind of bathtub was in play in this case, whether it's a big long one (where this would indeed sound implausible), or something more like a washbasin/bucket.

Possible Forced Removal[edit]

It seems there should be some mention of Aristide's claims of forced removal in this article. - klineks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.94.49 (talk) 23:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
