According to the Centers for Disease Control, some 3,600 people drowned in 2005, the most recent year for which there are statistics. Some 10 to 15 percent of those deaths was classified as “dry drowning,” which can occur up to 24 hours after a small amount of water gets into the lungs. In children, that can happen during a bath.

I also read somewhere that if you sing in the shower and the water spray hit the back of your throat in a certain way, it can shut down your larynx and you can suffocate.
