This means a $5,000 withdrawal taken by a mid-career worker in the 25 percent tax bracket would result in $1,750 in taxes and penalties. Turn age 59 1/2.

Best Answer: Technically, drowning begins as soon as a person loses consciousness. This, of course, varies depending on the circumstances (such as panic, exertion, temperature of water, etc.). In general, it takes about 2-3 minutes to lose consciousness. For the average person, the brain begins to die after about 3 minutes of oxygen deprivation. Death is complete after about 7 minutes.
1 Our bodies use oxygen as a fuel source to make energy from the food we eat. Carbon dioxide, a waste product, enters the bloodstream and travels back to the lungs. 2  When we exhale, we breathe out carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen.  When someone is choking with a completely blocked airway, no oxygen can enter the lungs. The brain is extremely sensitive to this lack of oxygen and begins to die within four to six minutes. It is during this time that first aid must take place. Irreversible brain death occurs in as little as 10 minutes.
