*Some drowning cases were recorded in more than one source. This table shows all drowning cases that were collected from each source; therefore, these totals include some duplicate cases.
†All percentages are row percentages (ie, percent of the total cases across the four sources).
‡Marine police detachments were only present in 14 lakeside districts and no non-lakeside districts; therefore, these 14 districts had an additional source type from which drowning cases were collected.
