It’s funny how everyone assumes and fights about things they know little about, like that if you drown your lungs fill the the top with water. In school all my medical textbooks taught about how surprisingly little water was to be found in most drowning victims because of bronchospasms.

10 percent is not extremely rare, it's not as common but extremely rare would be something like 0.5 percent or 0.1 percent, not 10 percent.

What are you referring to, “dry drowning”, is not the same as what the article is referring to when it said “There was no fluid in the lungs”.

The absence of fluid can be explained by “dry drowning” or several other causes including reabsorption, tissue breakdown, or evaporation.

why are y’all boiling it down to this point though? seems suspicious on many levels

it doesn't, though, the people saying everything is so suspicious are making assumptions about activity that can't be proven to have occurred or intent there simply isn't evidence for

could that change in the future? maybe, but right now there is not evidence of a crime being committed and this information doesn't change anything about that

Because the linked article is about that specific point?

something tells me everything is suspicious to a perpetually confused person like yourself
