On his page in Facebook Kennedy has published a 41-minute video in which his friends simulates drowning by pouring out his mouth and nose and asked various questions.

“We did it yesterday for almost 45 minutes. Watered every time from 10 seconds to a minute. You can try to hold your breath, but water accumulates in the sinuses and flowing down the eyes and nose. That’s all. It’s not torture,” he wrote on Twitter.
