I hate how they keep saying it was the "acute effects of ketamine" that killed him when it's clearly the drowning that did it. As far as I know it's very rare for someone to die from ketamine overdose by itself, which is what "acute effects" would imply.
- Right, like how people don’t die from driving drunk. It’s absurd that we say that. It’s obviously the effects of the car crash that did it.
  
  Disagree. That’s a level of pedantry akin to “it wasn’t the fall that killed him, it was the sudden stop.”
  
  There wouldn’t have been a sudden stop without the fall.
  
  There wouldn’t have been a crash without the drunk driving.
