Indeed. The stones around the legs are clearly referenced, and fit in
with the more literal drowning experience. "Waking the witch" could
be part of some third party's attempt to revive her, or also the
reflex response of waking when collapsing from exhaustion forced the
head underwater, introducing suffocating, searing salt water into the
mouth and lungs.
