British canals are 2 to 4 ft deep and don't have currents. Did they not know how to simply stand up? (lemmy.ca)

You are really trying to push a narrative that you can’t drown in a canal.

Between alcohol, rocks and the height between the edge and bottom of a canal you absolutely can drown because you can’t move from an injury.
