This is what I'm thinking. You might want to consider having a necropsy done to determine the cause.

If they do a necropsy and find foam in the lungs then its possible he drowned though that would raise a lot more questions as healthy monitors dont drown, if not then maybe a seizure caused him to flip in his water and his airway cut off before he could actually drown? I am not saying a seizure caused this but I am inquiring about the possibility of a neurological problem that just happened to occur when he was going for a swim or drink.

When I tried applying pressure to his chest there was foamy sort of flemmy like stuff coming out. I'm confused though my sav seemed so happy, was really fast at catching food, would let me handle when ever and would come onto my hand... The only odd thing that's happened twice since I've had my sav is I've had him/her in the morning and he/she was still in the water bowl, one was when I had wood chips substrate, once changed never done it again until I made a hill with the substrate for him to burrow and he some it the day I did that. So after 4 - 5 months he had stayed in his water bowl over night just on two occasions, therefor the only thing that come to my mind was maybe he/she did it again but fell to sleep in the water.. I have no idea why it happened the only one other thing I did which I don't do often is give my sav a hard boiled egg, besides that nothing was unique compared to any other day. Humidity fine, temps fine, Arcadia UV Tube used top soil and play sand mixture and a happy Bosc as far as I could tell but this happened when I got back
