Its weird, always wondered why it was even romanticized in the first place, even now it still is romanticized by alot of people, slowly suffocating to death in the cold dark water while desperately trying to get out of there sounds like a really shitty way to go.
Because of the lack of visible wounds disfigurating the body gave it the looks of it just being "peacefully asleep". Also because of the very notorious death, reportedly a suicide by self-drowning, of Ludwig II of Bavaria (spoiler: he was actually murdered). XIX copycats were as onnoxious as their XXI counterparts...
