that is horrifying. I wonder if some of the water went up her nose. Or splashed in her eyes.

Since she was diving and these quarries are pretty deep, they assumed the water was forced up into her nasal cavities. I also teach anatomy so I know that the olfactory nerves for the sense of smell pass from the nasal cavity through little openings in the floor of the cranium. From there, they go directly to the olfactory bulbs which are attached to the brain.

The water has to be forced up the nose like when you jump into a pond without holding your nose.

It can be found in tap water too. There was a case a few years ago caused by a neti pot.
