It is physically impossible, your body won't allow it. It is the same thing with trying to drown yourself in water, you can't do it. It has something to do with your nervous system and respiratory system.

I think you missed typed something there...How did all those who went down with the Titanic (picked something we all knew and hopefully wouldn't offend) drown if it wasn't with water.

last time I checked it is very possible to drown yourself in water. Holding your breath untill you die on the other hand is impossible, as it has been explained many times on this thread.

BTW good thread *Thumbs Up*

EDIT: Typo

Go into a pool and try to hold your breath till you drown, and try to hold yourself down while you are at it, it is almost impossible. I am probably wrong but whatever.

It was already explained ..

No, Thats why when you drown, its not of suffocation, its because your body is trying to breathe water.

My health teacher talked about this once she said that babies will hold their breath to fall a sleep at night.

you can drown yourself in water... just pass out when you're already underwater and hope you don't face up when you float to the surface.
