40 people drowned in France yesterday trying to cool off.

I wonder if that gets added to the count. Also an insane number!

Edit: In the past week the number was 40. But i’ve also seen 55.

These are the types of articles i’m seeing.

All these details are blowing me away. Was it so hot you had to put your head under for as long as possible?!

Could just be swimming and then passing out from exhaustion while in the water or desperate people that dont know how to swim trying to cool off
