Merítettek

Merítettek is a Hungarian term that translates to "drowned" or "submerged" in English. It generally refers to individuals who have died by drowning, meaning they have succumbed to the effects of being submerged in water or another liquid. This can occur accidentally, such as during swimming or boating mishaps, or in some contexts, it might refer to executions by drowning.

The term is often used in legal and medical contexts when documenting causes of death. It implies a lack of oxygen resulting from the inhalation of water into the lungs. The circumstances surrounding a drowning incident are crucial in determining whether it was accidental, suicidal, or homicidal. Investigations typically involve examining the location, any witness accounts, and the physical evidence to ascertain the cause.

Historically, drowning has been a method of execution in various cultures. In such cases, the intent is clearly not accidental. The legal classification of merítettek, therefore, depends heavily on the context and the findings of any subsequent investigation into the death.
