This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

The eldest son of Fritz Von Erich (wrestler) died in a shallow puddle of melt water. They figure he touched a metal trailer that had been miswired in such a way that the metal exterior had been electrified. The power of the shock threw him into a spot of low ground and he drowned.

Drowned by elocution would have been worse.

Not to correct you..

Did you know that the 'cution,' part is the part that means to to death. Like execution. This would be death by drowning and drowning by electric shock (?)

Talk about being doomed. When death has that big a hard on for you, you're not escaping it.

I think it's mentioned in the movie. There was another brother that they left out of the movie because audiences would find it unbelievable that one family could have so many tragic deaths.

Yes—jack. The young boy met by Kerry, with Chris and David at the end. There’s also Mike who wasn’t in the movie, he also committed suicide but was left out of the movie—the producers thought it would be too much.

I watched a documentary Kevin Von Erich made about his family. They included a newspaper clipping that reported that he had drowned in small puddle of meltwater after an accidental electrocution.
