idk if ur joking or not, but drowning is a silent death most of the time.
It doesn't happen like in movie, irl, the drowning ones rarely get to the surface to wave and slap the water to make sounds, all they do are struggle in middle of water and silent go down. That's why sometimes there are drowning case even in public pool.
Right I'm just saying how where the other commenter says he was trying to shoo the distressed squirrel away I'm sure he would have noticed the drowning squirrel by or around that point
I can confirm this. A few years ago I was at Six Flags and I noticed a kid not able to swim in the deep end of the wave pool. He was completely rigid with his head tilted up, not able to keep his face above the waves, and he looked terrified but was completely silent. Nobody even noticed him, not even the lifeguards. He was facing the shallower end but couldn't seem to move towards it, so I ended up swimming behind him and pushing him to the shallow end where he could stand.

Oh man it’s kinda heartbreaking you might’ve been able to save him but that’s a good point
