Never heard of dry drowning, either, but sounds like you had to of inhaled water at some point first.
This article sounds fishy, though, almost like all of them were offed on purpose.

(CNN) — Initial autopsies of four of the seven victims who died when a superyacht sank in a storm in Italy last month show they died of “dry drowning,” according to authorities.
The phenomenon, also known as “atypical drowning,” means they had no water in their lungs, tracheas or stomachs, said a spokesperson for the lawyer of the captain of the Bayesian, which went down off the coast of the Sicilian port of Porticello on August 19.
There is no medically accepted “dry drowning” condition — “dry drowning” or other terms such as secondary drowning or delayed drowning are sometimes used to describe patients whose condition worsened after a drowning rescue or who had very little water in the lungs. However, the American Red Cross and other health organizations have recommended against using the terms; people may experience health impacts after being in water but it’s not the same as drowning, it says.

I am not a doctor or EMT but, like many of us I suspect, it seemed too coincidental that this rich guy and his family and friends on an "unsinkable" mega yacht died shortly after he was found not guilty. But the Captain survived? When I first heard of the incident I suspected something similar to being "Clintoned".
What did he know, who was also guilty but not yet ratted on, and who was in line to inherit stuff?

Dry drowning sounds like something that would happen to a witness against the Clinton family. Like a 7 shot suicide with a 5 round revolver.
There was a young boy many years ago who dry drowned the day after he and his family were at an area lake! I never really understood what happened or how!!

They were in an air bubble in the yacht and suffocated when they used up all the oxygen. Not really a drowning but a suffocation.
